After the ridiculously close squeaker in the Iowa caucuses, the state's Democratic Party said it couldn't release the raw vote totals for Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.
That simply isn't how they do business, party officials insisted.
Even after they audited the results this week, Iowa Democratic officials would say only that Clinton won 49.84 percent of the vote and Sanders 49.59 percent, reducing her margin slightly to a quarter of a point.
Sanders has called for the raw vote totals to be released. The state party says that's not the way it conducts the caucuses. And the press has pretty much let the matter drop.
But it turns out that hasn't been the practice in past elections. Here are the raw vote totals for Iowa's 2008 Democratic caucus:

Pat Caddell was so upset about this yesterday. The Dems lied and said it’s their “policy” not to release numbers. Then he produced a paper showing the actual number of Dem votes in 2012.
He was so angry to have been lied to that he was shaking.
Two things: (1) Caddell needs to come over from the Dark Side already. (2) Iowa is definitely trying to hid something. A great way to start the election.
Something tells me maybe she lost those “win by 5 points” total..........but I don’t know
It is Hillary’s way.
Lie. Cheat. Steal.
Get paid for her body.
Imagine if Bernie creams Hillary in New Hampshire then wins Iowa on a recount.
Mandatory death penalty for voter fraud?
The place to look for voter fraud is in precincts that hold back their ballot boxes... until they know how many ‘extra’ vote to add...
Clinton 700.47 state delegate equivalents (SDEs)
Sanders 696.92 SDEs.
Their "recount" led to a net change of less than 1 SDE.
Hillary is counting the hanging chads in Iowa with her high power attorney husband Slick.
It wouldn’t matter because Mrs. Bill is a shoo-in SC.
Actually the American people, particularly those in “the democracy,” laugh when fraud is alleged.
“The place to look for voter fraud is in precincts that hold back their ballot boxes... until they know how many extra votes to add...”
When I was working elections that was one thing that we were warned about. Early voting is open to stunning voter fraud, and absentee voting is even worse. Too much time with votes “sitting around” waiting to connect with Election Day votes. Frequently, absentee votes aren’t even counted unless a race is close and they might make a difference. Also, Dems are notorious for completely ignoring military absentee votes.
You're right Madam...
