If you think calling me names is gonna get a rise out me, think again. I like my life as an idiot!
In what world is it a good idea to release results in the way the DNC did? Like, this is the stupidest poo poo. Last night was stupid as gently caress and then they go about release results in the dumbest loving way possible. Every time I think "Boy this couldn't get any stupider" I once again prove myself the fool.

they could have gotten custom stationery. fancy paper. written the numbers on it. and then driven it to the state capital. that's the level of effort required.

legally speaking, facsimile transmission aka a "fax" has legal precedent to transmit prescriptions and other secure documents and machines are able to handle a bunch coming in at once

lol she linked to the source (ABC), and this loving framing:

Biden, who has polled strongly nationally among blacks, a key Democratic constituency – had to contend with comparative lack of racial or ethnic diversity among Iowa caucus-goers. Ninety-one percent were white. That said, among the comparatively few nonwhite caucus-goers, Sanders won 43%. His competitors were clumped distantly - Buttigieg, 15% among nonwhites; Biden, 13%; Warren and entrepreneur Andrew Yang, 12% apiece.

Not drastically, but yeah Pete is more people's second choice than Bernie is

can you articulate this, because apart from anything else i'm not seeing how half the federal judiciary being made up of forty-something federalist-society-secret-lab-grown loons who've been unanimously rated as 'unqualified, deranged, and possibly homicidal' by the bar association and whose prior experience was being part of the conservative legal blogosphere in the aughts, writing about the danger posed to christian america by the homo-islamic menace, is going to help anyone or anything at all

decorum poisoned neolibs aren’t any safeguard against nazis in SCOTUS or the judiciary, and a blue wave is more likely under another 4 years of trump. plus, we’re more likely to get a better dem choice in 2024, versus 8 years of butt ensuring climate death

Here in Germany elections are done 100 percent on paper and we have first results about 4 hours after voting done, and final the next morning.

How are there still no results for this. Lmao America.

Our elections actually went faster when it was all on paper but then some consultant decided what we really needed was to have 80 year old grandmas trying to decipher technology

Has anyone addressed the elephant in the room of the fact that the DNC expected the caucus runners to use an app for this, who are basically clones of Biden and Warren? Because uh, it seems, ya know, bad.

They're asking for voter registrations because, if you weren't listed on the voter roll, that's how you got into the caucus. Voter registration could be updated night of. If they want to count headcounts that way. It's stupid, but makes sense in that context.

i can't find the tweet, but someone from the iowa democratic party said they presented a couple solutions for recording more information in the caucuses to the DNC involving phoning in results, but the DNC pressed for something different

this caused even more problems last night because when people started phoning results in, they were put on hold for hours because the iowa democratic party stopped paying for a lot of their extra phone lines lmfao

They stopped reporting at 62%. They batched release that 62% with Butt just ahead and then nothing since then. Looks loving shady as hell.

I hope those of you who still expected, after a punted poll, a delayed announcement of the votes, and complete radio silence, that somehow the democracts would release the totals by 7pm, are now a least a little more ready for the fact that Tankies Are Always Right
