The Democratic National Committee will reject Iowa's plan for virtual caucuses — a decision that both complicates the Iowa Democratic Party's implementation of the 2020 presidential caucuses and threatens their very existence going forward.

The decision was confirmed to the Des Moines Register late Thursday by two sources close to the conversations. It follows a meeting of the DNC’s Rules and Bylaws Committee last week in San Francisco, where members voiced concerns about the security of the Iowa plan and the potential for hacking.

This will become a cheating contest, and the political consultants who can figure out the best way to game the system will get very rich.

On your mark, get set, may the best cheater win!

The idealistic liberals who volunteer and try to bring integrity to the process are going to get stomped on so badly...

They’re losers in the real world, they may as well be so in the virtual one.

DNC shouldn’t be interfering with state sovereignty imo.
