Yes, that's right. Can't split delegates into fractions, and sometimes candidates tie thanks to rounding. Bernie was ahead 4.5-3.5. They flipped to see who got the extra half.

My precinct ended up splitting its delegates 2-2-2-2 among the four viable candidates. The formula was on a slide they showed to the entire precinct. Not like it was a secret.

My favorite was the complete misrepresentation from the Bernie supporter on MSNBC.

“Bernie had twice the votes as the next person (leaves out this was for the first round only) and somehow ended up with the same as everyone”

That’s how ranked choice works. A caucus is effectively a live ranked choice vote.

BUT THE CONSPIRACY!!!1!1!

Again, never substitute malice for stupidity (as in, the caucus system is stupid).

That’s the Bernie playbook. If we don’t win, it was rigged. If we win, well, never mind that.

They either win or sabotage the party and the race.

I have zero issues with the caucus system. It’s just a live ranked choice.

Technically these are the rules of the undemocratic system this is ok!

You understand that primaries have the same issue, right? Converting votes into delegates means rounding since you can't divide a delegate, which is a real live human, in half.

Yeah... that’s not what he said.

All he did was explain why a 60 yard field goal and a 25 yard field goal count the same.

Honestly, I can't believe that I'm going to bed with literally 0 results officially reported. Once again a state democratic party finds the worst possible way to fark up.

101 to 66 is not the same chart guy

After delays, the winner of the Iowa caucus is finally announced. Congratulations to Vladimir Putin with 118% of the vote.

Re: Democratic Challengers 8: Candidates Can Only Work for A Vegan Farm Market

Joy Reid **** all over the night. She said this is awful for one reason and not because of the delays. It’s because the results are on pace with 2016 and that doesn’t show an eagerness to unseat Donald Trump by white voters. The Bernie/Pete/Biden/etc. surge never materialized.

She’s right. That’s a bad sign.

Somehow Mayor Pete seems to speaking and tweeting that he's won Iowa despite, ya know, no results being reported yet.

Smart move. No one in the media is going to say otherwise.

Because he’s getting the last word and projecting confidence. He knows it’s bunk. If he wins, great. If he doesn’t, then Iowa’s system failed and they’re moving on.
