Strong statistical support for Conservative Treehouse's intuition that this was not an accident:

"Mission Accomplished – Chaos in Iowa Caucuses Helps and Hurts All The Right Candidates…

Posted on February 4, 2020 by sundance

From the DNC Club’s perspective there were three strategic needs surrounding the Iowa caucuses: (1) Hide the collapse of Joe Biden; (2) Diminish the win by Bernie Sanders; and (3) cover-up a less than enthusiastic voter turnout. Given the nature of very public primary races, this three-pronged challenge seemed almost impossible.

Almost."

Bernie won and the dems are trying to cover it up.

Trump vs Bernie would be a blowout Republican landslide.

Looks like all stops are out to get Bloomberg on the ticket.

Smart would have been for the candidates to make the night all about their supporters and ideas. Instead the speeches were about Trump, the sole winner coming out of Iowa.

Two more campaign days wasted then to New Hampshire for the expected Bernie win and then...

See, one thing to remember, California is voting right now. Ballots are mailed 29 days before the election. Reporting a Bernie win would change the outcome there.

Probably done on purpose to make way for Bloomberg.

It's official: if this keeps up we're going to have a brokered convention and the Democratic Party splitting in two. And billions in free advertising for Trump's re-election campaign.

Nah. It’s a caucus. Just throw out all results and tell the folks in Iowa that they will be able to vote in the general if they desire. No harm no foul.

A few liberal bloggers have already blamed the Iowa mess on - get ready for this - Vladimir Putin. Yes, that crafty Russian hacked into the voting app and messed everything up.

But I will not mock those bloggers, not just yet. Because if someone named Ivan or Boris ends up with the majority of Iowa delegates, they will have been proven right.

Hard to imagine what the DNC Convention might wrought if they don’t have a clear front runner. Going to be bad enough if they have a front runner and it isn’t Bernie. Bernie Bros like to burn stuff and be violent.

“Delaying the winnowing process would tangibly increase the chance of a contested convention.”

When are they going to figure out that this is all being rigged for Hillary?

The Democrats know they will be crushed in November.Their plan is to sow seeds of chaos to de-legitimize the results. If you remember the Gore vs. Bush mess in 2000 then that will pale in comparison to what is coming.

Maybe the Democraps should let it run its course and Bernie becomes their nominee. All of their nominees are going to lose to President Trump. Why not make Bernie be the sacrificial lamb, and that will be the end of the socialist.

The Iowa Democratic Party’s colossal screw-up in reporting results will potentially have direct effects on the outcome of the nomination process.

Call me skeptical of that.
