South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg declared himself the winner in Iowa after technical glitches and snafus prevented the state party from announcing any caucus results Monday night.
Buttigieg, who was hoping to get a boost out of the nation's first caucus state to drive past more seasoned rivals, went beyond any of the other Democratic presidential contenders his his caucus-night speech.
'We don't know all of the results. But we do know that by the time it's all said and done, Iowa: you have shocked the nation. Because by all indications we are going on to New Hampshire victorious,' Buttigieg told cheering supporters - in the kind of statement that might ordinarily follow a strong measure of public information.
Instead there was no official result in any form, and the Iowa Democratic Party rushed out a statement promising that they had not been hacked and would now be using paper results with a count which will stretch into daylight on Tuesday morning.

LOL
Of course he’s the winner.
He paid for the app!
Just like Soros machines always vote for dems.
The one before Trump was! That is why we have Trump now!
don’t dismiss allegations Mayor Pete is CIA. keep watch.
What I did see was there was big turnout, a lot more people turned up then usual. Is this true?
In the Regressive Socialist 'RAT party, everyone wins, everyone gets a trophy, and everyone is Spartacus!
We need to spread the rumor that tens of thousands of illegals voted in the caucuses. Maybe that would convince the Dems that there’s a problem.
At the least it would be fun....
The other candidates think they won; Mayor Cheat knows he won!
It is obvious who the real winner of the democrat primary in Iowa was......
Donald J. Trump
I think Bernie won so now they are trying to fix that.
Ha! What happens when Democrats steal an election from each other?? Huh MSM? Keep counting! Let no vote (no matter how fraudulent) be uncounted! Hey, you, I got votes in my trunk! What’s this in the back of the room?
I’m pretty sure I might have won.
All those Putin Facebook ads tricked the dim-witted Dem voters to vote for Bernie.
Did Putin really recruit Bernie during his Moscow honeymoon?
The 2020 Dem Iowa Caucus — the most tyrannical voter disenfranchisement since Reconstruction!
I’m sure going to stay glued to the news to find out who’s on top: the rump ranger or Joseph Stalin.
Caucus Interruptus
Chris Matthews said democrats in Iowa couldn’t organize a three car funeral.

If Mr. Peterman does win, it will be by the seat of his pants where there is more action than at a WWE championship.
Not the smart Marxist like his father but enough of a conman to fool a lot of people. I think the people of South Bend, Ind. would be very glad to get him “out of Dodge” at any cost.
4 Feb: WashingtonExaminer: Buttigieg campaign paid firm that developed voting app blamed for Iowa caucus delays
by Spencer Neale
Presidential candidate Pete Buttigiegs campaign contributed money to the technological firm whose voting app that contributed to reporting delays in the Iowa caucuses.
Federal Election Commission filings reveal that Buttigiegs campaign gave tens of thousands of dollars to Shadow on July 23, 2019 for software rights and subscriptions.
Shadow, a technology company that has an investor in Democratic digital nonprofit ACRONYM, was also paid $60,000 over two installments by the Iowa Democratic Party to build an app to help make caucus voting easier and faster for precinct volunteers. Filings also reveal that the Nevada Democratic Party paid Shadow $58,000 for website development.
Robby Mook, the campaign manager for Hillary Clintons 2016 team, denied involvement in the voting app after Twitter users suggested he was behind the apps development. Mook, who reportedly did have a role in preparing a video to alert campaigns of misinformation or hacking, instructed people to contact Iowa Democrats for more information on the botched results.
