it’s literally just them delaying the announcement that Bernie won until like 2 in the morning so he doesn’t get a ton of media coverage and so they can say it was rigged in favor of bernie

Are all caucus goers staying at their caucus station now to make sure that the chair calls in the correct number? Is everyone who came out tonight stuck in gymnasiums until 2AM?

No, everybody turned in their cards, the chairs did the math in front of campaign reps, the campaign reps sent the info directly to their campaigns, and everyone went home. The only people left are the precinct chairs who are reporting stuff to the Iowa Democrats.

DNC doesn't control poo poo in Iowa or any other state primary. Everything here is being run by the Iowa Democratic Party. Y'all act like the DNC is the Illuminati. The DNC has less power than my uncle running his hardware store and couldn't organize their way out of a paper bag.

That's not a reason *not* to get rid of them

if the bernie campaign is recording all the results concurrently, why haven't we heard from them? is there some sort of rule against that?

dunno if there's a rule, but i would bet that there's an informal agreement with all campaigns to not release results that aren't like put out on twitter by randos at an individual location

absolutely no one looks good if they claim victory while the iowa dem hq is engulfed in flames

Everybody is melting down like somebody set fire to half the results or something when really you're just annoyed that they're delayed a bit.

It makes the Democrats look incompetent and untrustworthy. Hell, it is incompetent. This is happening because Iowa Democrats can't be trusted to do the one thing they make a huge deal out of doing every election. gently caress the entire state, no more first in the nation.

people have a reason to be paranoid, even if it's groundless this time

I have a friend that worked there previously and trust me, it's like clown car times 11x. No elected pol listens to the DNC or gives a rat's rear end what they think. They have literally zero power - every state primary is controlled by the state party and no national pol gives a gently caress about them.
