What happens when there's a tie between many candidates? Do they find the guy at the caucus that plays a lot of Dungeons & Dragons?

I was working on the IDP's caucus help line, and the recommended tie breaker for a draw between 3 or more preference groups was pulling names out of a hat. I'm pretty sure we never got to that point, though.

Yeah, and the GOP changed the rules so now they can't take over like that again.

The stuff reported on the websites is the preliminary data either from the reporting app or when they called in to give the info to an actual person. The final numbers come from the tally sheets filled out by each precinct chair and signed off by representatives of the campaigns. The chairs send those to the state party via the mail. The discrepancies are almost certainly due to human error when they reported the totals.

Jesus, that's not good. I hope that didn't happen too much, but probably no way to tell. :/

Yeah, the delegate formula is bonkers. I was on the phone with this poor precinct chair for 15 minutes because the Hillary group had split in half to take a delegate away from the Bernie group and that went over about as well as you'd imagine.
