Sanders campaign reviewing Iowa caucus totals, says actual result may never be known
washington post ^ | 02/02/2016 | John Wagner

The campaign of Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders has launched a review of the razor-thin margin of Monday night's Iowa caucuses, Sanders's campaign manager said Tuesday.

"As an empirical matter, we're not likely to ever know what the actual result was," said Jeff Weaver, Sanders’s campaign manager, who cited as complicating factors the narrow margin, the "arcane" rules of the caucuses, the delayed reporting of some precincts and the technology used to reports the results.

The Sanders review may not have any practical effect on how delegates are awarded, but "I think everybody has an interest in making it as accurate as possible," Weaver said.

...

Weaver said his campaign is reviewing tally sheets and "looking into a few other issues," which he declined to name.

They’ll turn up on Hillary’s coffee table in about a decade or so.

If Bernie doesn’t zip it, he’s gonna find a horse head in his bed.

Hillary’s tentacles are everywhere.

...and “winning” is such an outdated concept, Bernie. Let’s share the results, eh? Some for the lying, evil, woman, some for you. Heck, we will even throw some delegates to O’Malley, even though he’s pulled out.

Well based on the 6 coin flips, all which Hillary won, it suggest Sanders actually won the event.

“If Bernie doesn’t zip it, he’s gonna find a horse head in his bed.”

Or a note from Hillary asking Sanders to “meet” her at Fort Marcy Park to hold a private “discussion” about their campaigns...

It’s not who votes that counts. What counts is who counts the votes.

Any dealings with Hillary Clinton need to be put under an x ray. Just saw on the OAN channel that some of the Whitewater stuff is resurfacing I think via Judicial Watch. HaHa.

Bernie Bernie Bernie. The evidence has already been destroyed and all documentation carefully placed in the memory hole.

I heard a TV ad for Princess Hillary today. I don’t watch much television and the campaign ads are generally foreign to me. What I heard (though I was otherwise occupied) was Clinton saying something about “grandmom’s who can’t afford...” and “single mom’s who can’t afford...” and “students...’

Was the student in the ad male? If so why not mention “male students,” “grand dads or even “single dads.” Or anything male. What kind of male would vote for this individual? She isn’t for most of you, male liberal voter.

“If Bernie doesn’t zip it, he’s gonna find a horse head in his bed.”

More likely he will someday become so distraught that he will proceed to shoot himself in the back of the head a half a dozen times.

I say a tie in Iowa is a win.

Now if Bernie can win New Hampshire, he is well on the way to my ideal scenario of Bernie winning the popular vote, Hillary winning because the super-delegates are stacked in her favor, and the democratic party becoming very very disgruntled with the whole mess.
