On the eve of the New Hampshire primary, how can it be there is still no winner of last week's Iowa caucuses?
Final results of the Democratic caucus were released late Sunday, after the Iowa Democratic Party made a series of corrections to a tally initially delayed by several days. That's not the end of the count, however, as Sen. Bernie Sanders and former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg exercised their right Monday to ask the state party to take another look at its reporting of the results.
Amid those delays in getting the data and after observing irregularities in the results once they did arrive, The Associated Press decided it cannot declare a winner in the first contest to decide the Democratic Party's nominee to challenge President Donald Trump in November.

RATS have run out of fingers and toes and are now looking for additional volunteers.

There was a winner.
Donald j trump.
Right!
Turns out Buttplugme is connected in a number of ways to the app they used - per Lou Dobbs
One of the features of well constructed game is the ability to clearly determine a winner, or identify a draw.
Elections, the same thing.
Unnecessary complexity opens opportunities for manipulation.
IOW, it’s a feature, not a bug.
The NYT reported the first signs of trouble at the Iowa Caucuses came early.
<><> the smartphone app had been oked last fall by Harvards Harvards Defending Digital Democracy Project
to develop strategies and systems to protect results and deal with misinformation (LA Times report).
<><> The Harvard group included party campaign experts and experts in
(A) cybersecurity, (B) national security, (C) technology and (D) election administration.
<><> fortuitously, the Harvard group simulated different ways things could go wrong on caucus night.
<><> (cue maniacal laugh machine here).
<><> but a simple task like reporting the results began failing last Monday night.
<><> quick-thinking Democrat party officials then instructed precinct leaders to move to Plan B:
<><> plan B had precincts call-in results into caucus hdq in Des Moines, to be entered into a secure system by volunteers.
<><> but when volunteers tried to log on, they discovered they needed smartphones to retrieve a code,
<><> the caucus team had been told NOT to bring phones into the boiler room in Des Moines.
<><> a torrent of results were phoned in from gyms, union halls and elsewhere, places that made the Iowa caucuses a world-famous model of democracy,
<><> it soon became clear that the whole smart-phone, app process was melting down.
<><> desperate volunteers resorted to passing around a spare iPad to log into the system
<><> other Dems , desperate to verify results, were telling precinct leaders to email photos of worksheets that tallied results to a dedicated email address.
<><> for hours, no one monitored the inbox; finally opened Tues AM, there were 700 emails with photos sent sideways;
<><> volunteers faced the task of deciphering the handwritten forms.
<><> Iowa Demo Party chair, Troy Price, huddled with other Democrat officials,
<><> alas, no Democrat had a clear strategy to manage the unfolding chaos with exasperated presidential campaigns.
Demo Party chair? More like Demo Derby chair.
That is what you get when you use common core math.
Yeah, I don’t understand why you can’t just count the paper by this time...
But then, its just the dumblecrats and I don’t really care...
Problems for Nevada caucus counting votes.
Is it because President Trump actually got the most votes?
Because even the corrupt cannot comprehend the scope of the incompetent.
I thought they said the first count couldn’t be changed because it was “official” or some such...??? How many times do they need wrong answers until they get the results they want? What ARE the results they want?
