Greatest country in the world.



Maps like this always make Antarctica look fuckin massive. It's actually just a bit larger than the US or Europe, but it looks like the size of Eurasia at least here

News organizations will have cameras in precincts. No idea what they do about people with cell phone streams, but I'm sure people will be doing it.

Periscope has an API, right? I'm sure Twitter has safeguards and auth-keys that prevent doing just this, but I could probably write a script that looks for all periscope streams labelled Iowa and integrates them into that ozymandial wall... by next year.

it's all pretty good

There is one small difference between parties: Democrats have to publicly announce their votes at precinct meetings, while Republicans use a secret ballot. Some may say this entire process is inscrutable, needlessly complicated, serves to enrich hideously fat corn barons, and an unsightly, pandering affair where focus-group tested rich sociopaths gum fried foods to endear themselves to people in “No Fear” t-shirts. These people have zero respect for the process that has served our country well for over 40 years. I can’t wait!

Too early to call for GOP, but I think we can call this for Clinton with 55% reporting. I'd put Sanders' chances right now at 10%.

Bernouts are raising hell that "doing a coin flip is not in the official rule book! We want a recount!"

If Sanders clamours for a recount, he will lose major support in NH. Do not call for a recount, you will regret this!

Concerned Citizen posted:

how do you even recount a caucus

Well you see, in the rule book, it says a tie should be determined by a game of chance which doesn't have to be a coin toss! And now there are people literally saying that since Hillary won the coin toss, she should have to lose the delegate, and all the caucus leaders got it wrong.

This is the image making the rounds:

Can we make this the last post in the thread and goldmine it



quote:

Kramer Howell was the only voter in his precinct to caucus for Jeb Bush Monday night.

"I'm the lone Jeb supporter," said Howell, a senior at Drake University who voted in Republican precinct caucus 45, located on his campus in Des Moines, Iowa. "I was the only one."

That means the woman who spoke on Jeb's behalf did not even vote for him. "Her pitch was basically, 'He's a good guy,'" Howell said. "It was like the least rousing speech I've ever heard." No one even spoke on behalf of Trump or Kasich.

In all, 47 voters showed up at this caucus, with Marco Rubio dominating and Ted Cruz coming in second.

Oddly, the person who spoke on behalf of Ben Carson kept referring to him as Bernie Sanders. "He went on this really incoherent tangent about gay marriage," said Howell. "He didn't seem like the brightest guy."
