Cruz needed evangelicals and the only place to get them was Carson. And only 4 votes per precinct. Easily done by his "Trump is unstoppable" threat.

Cruz didn't just win Evangelicals. That's an assumption by the pundits. Trump and Carson got their share in Western Iowa. Cruz won most of the counties in Eastern Iowa as well.

Also this "4 votes per precinct" spin from Rove is actually 9000 votes - more than what all except the top 4 vote getters actually got statewide.

But 4 votes sure SOUNDS like a small number!

“Cruz didn’t just win Evangelicals.”

Obviously. But’s it’s where he and Carson both draw their majority.

There’s 1681 precincts x 4 = 6724.

The notion that there would be no attrition from Cruz’s tampering, or that there would be any change of significance to another campaign other than Cruz, is ludicrous.

I still think Cruz would have won just by a smaller margin.

Why do you inflate the 6000 votes from 1500 precincts at 4 votes per prencinct by 50% to arrive at 9,000 votes?

4 votes X 1500 precincts = 6000 votes X 150% = 9000 votes

Why did you come up with 150% to “prove” your point?
