Hillary won the toss and will defer to the second half!

You don’t recount a caucus. Geez, what is wrong with this pot-smoking red diaper baby?

I think that controversial coin toss happened at the start of Super Bowl XL - which was played in Detroit.

They can’t have a recount because the Iowa caucuses are not state run, they are party run. That is what I heard on the news.

Iowa dems know cheating. In the ‘08 election I was driving for Trailways. A bunch of them put about 25 Spanish speakers on my bus in Iowa City with a chaperone and pictographic instructions on how to vote when they got to illinois. I presume they had already in Iowa. Lots of donkeys on their instructions.

The state parties typically have rules in place that include conditions for a recount.

I don’t think she looked one bit too happy when she was making that speech lastnight. She looked and sound angry.

The Democrats love to chant, ‘every vote counts’, and then don’t release the vote count for last night. Hilarious.

I suppose democrats should be excluded from any code enforcement or fire marshal jobs because they are incapable of counting and reporting the numbers of people in a room.

It’s pretty easy to figure out the probability of 6 successful coin flips in a row. For simplicity, let’s say heads is for Hillary, tails for Bernie. Assuming a fair coin (I know, I know) there is a 50 % probability of getting a head on each flip, i.e., 1 chance in 2.

Number of flips===========Probability of successive heads

1=====================1/2
2=====================1/4
3=====================1/8
4=====================1/16
5=====================1/32
6=====================1/64

So, there is 1 chance in 64 of getting 6 heads in a row (or successfully calling 6 coin flips in a row.)
1/64= .015625, or 1.5625%. Unlikely, but not impossible.

Cant see how they could do a recount on the Rat side with the goofy way they have people move to different sides of the room and all the coin flips.

On our side we just mark a ballot and turn it in. Balliots are handed out as you register. Names are checked against voter registration lists.
Representaives from all the parties are invited to watch the counting and the ballots are retained to be recounted if needed.
Fraud is pretty hard to pull off that way.

The Rat side is open for fraud.
