2020 candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) will call for a partial recanvass of the Iowa caucus results on Monday after the Iowa Democratic Party (IDP) projected 2020 candidate former South Bend, Indiana mayor Pete Buttigieg the winner of its catastrophic caucuses on Sunday.
Though I also remember someone else recently saying that a partial recanvass should be done and one of the candidates’ group of supporters getting very upset at it being evidence of the process being rigged…
Now we are finding out that some precincts did not get counted in the statewide totals, while others were double-counted. Seriously nobody is that incompetent. This was done deliberately.
SERIOUSLY? 26.2 vs 26.1 is what you want to take time and resources to rehash?
Look, the primary process is the ultimate “sausage making” exercise - and the Iowa caucus is like weird “craft / boutique” sausage making - inexact and interpretative … and probably best only consumed in small doses.
It is way past time to turn the page … if Bernie allows himself to look like he cannot properly prioritize and focus on the huge important stuff immediately ahead … he will open the door to being view as a relentless fixated argumentative curmudgeon.
Bernie doing everything he can to make sure his deluded cult followers think the election is rigged against him. I really cannot stand this guy or his slavish followers.
What? Hoping for 2 more delegates so he can say, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, I won, you lose.
I’m sorry but if there’s this much trouble, this early on, it’s not a good sign.
Well you know it was a clusterf…k. If votes were miscounted or not counted one might say there was voter supression. But hey it is just a small state, GOP one at that!
So the local caucus volunteers deliberately miscounted a confusing process? And were they rogue, or did they recieve directives from the evil DNC and Tom Perez? If so, by what mechanism were they threatened or bribed? I bet the Clintons had a hand in this somehow, amirite?
I just hope they pick a conspiracy theory and stick to it. Is this on the Iowa Democratic party for rigging the election so that Bernie lost the delegate count, or is this on the DNC for calling for a recount after Bernie won the popular vote? Can’t be both of those things, but I sure have seen them both argued!
