Democrats in chaos: Hillary and Bernie are left in limbo as poor staffing at Iowa polling places means caucus winner won't be declared until later today
Iowa's Democratic faithful will have to wait until Tuesday to find out who won their presidential caucuses, as state party officials botched the event and can't determine who won in nine of the 1,681 voting precincts.
Poor staffing led to questions at caucus sites scattered all over the state, leaving liberals with egg on their faces - and casting a cloud over the results although Hillary Clinton has already claimed victory.
When counting stopped in the wee hours of Tuesday morning, she held a 0.29 per cent lead over Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.
The Iowa Democratic Party will have to recreate the vote totals at the mismanaged locations by conferring with the Clinton and Sanders campaigns.
Every campaign typically has a designated observer at each caucus site to be sure each vote is credited to the right candidate, and then a Democratic official certifies the final count and sends it to the state party headquarters - this year, via a special Microsoft mobile app.
But it appears that when it was time in nine precincts to communicate the results, no one from the party was there to relay them.
The Sanders campaign told reporters late Monday night at the Des Moines International Airport, where a charter flight to New Hampshire was preparing to leave Iowa, that the party had dropped the ball in nine precincts.

Ordering more popcorn....
Cover up for the Rubio swing.
Bernie is Hitlary’s new Obama.

BULL...CRAP!
They knew Hillary was going to lose. So they manipulated it (6 coin toss wins for Hillary!) so she’d get the headline, “HILLARY WINS IN CLOSE ONE!”
Then two-three weeks from now post SEC primaries we find out she, in fact, lost!
Scam.
Lol
What a lovely statement..........
“The Iowa Democratic Party will have to recreate the vote totals at the mismanaged locations by conferring with the Clinton and Sanders campaigns.”
There’s that catchy little word RECREATE! Debbie Washerwoman-Shitz and her merry little band will MAGICALLY find that Hillary has won tomorrow. For me, all they have is a Crook and a Communist running now that their designated villiage idiot has dropped out.
Which is how I am afraid the actual election will go.
Remind me again...why a caucus is better than an actual vote.
JEFFERSON, Iowa - Hours before the country's first nominating contest here gets underway here Monday, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton braced for a possible loss by sending President Bill Clinton to campaign for her in South Carolina.
The campaign announced that Mr. Clinton will stump Wednesday in South Carolina, where Mrs. Clinton has worked to build a firewall against rival Sen. Bernard Sanders."......
A caucus is an actual vote. It’s just more compressed time-wise and location-wise. It weeds out the laziest.
Every state should have caucuses, just not run by these Democrat idiots who can’t figure out how to do something so simple.
I seriously doubt that either can Limbo....
Third world banana republic system and morons .
They delay finalizing vote counts to see how many fraudulent votes they need to create to give their chosen candidate the win.
Voting should be private. Period.
A man shows up and his boss is there. He going to risk his job over his vote? Or his neighbors. Or preacher.
bttt
There’s a scene in the film “Key Largo” where the villain ‘Rico’ goes on about recounting votes over and over until the count comes out ‘right’.
BINGO!!! Caucuses seem stupid.
