DNC ‘taking over’ accounting results in Iowa after botched caucus: report
New York Post ^ | February 5, 2020 | Emily Jacobs

Fed up with the dithering of Iowa party officials, the Democratic National Committee is “taking over” the accounting of results from Monday’s botched caucus count as state party operatives remain unable to provide a timeline for releasing the remainder of the tally, according to a report.

The DNC has been “actively engaging in calling the leaders of each [caucus] precinct in order to verify the results,” ABC News reported.

Polk County Democratic chairman Sean Bagniewski told the network that the DNC had been calling precinct chairs and asking for results, while Des Moines precinct chairman Carl Voss confirmed that the DNC had contacted him to request a copy of his tally sheet.

They both, along with an anonymous Democratic official, told ABC that they did not believe this had ever happened in previous caucuses.

DNC chairman Tom Perez said in a series of tweets Tuesday evening that DNC staffers were “assisting” the Iowa Democratic Party (IDP) in an effort to get the results released as soon — and as accurately — as possible.

“What happened last night in Iowa should never happen again. We have staff working around the clock to assist the Iowa Democratic Party to ensure that all votes are counted,” he wrote in the first tweet.

Perez added in another tweet, “Our immediate goal is to ensure that every vote is counted as quickly as possible. Accuracy is our guidepost.”

The IDP has been in turmoil since Monday night, when an app commissioned by the IDP and created by Shadow Inc. to streamline the process of reporting caucus results botched the entire collection of votes.

It wasn’t “botched.”

They didn’t get the result they wanted.

They better have their cheating prearranged in New Hampshire or they are going to have to declare NH “botched” as well.

Too many actual caucus goers actually were careful about keeping records for themselves, so the Dem aristocrats are having a hard time believably shorting Bernie’s votes.

It takes time to figure out how to game the system so Buttplug wins and Biden doesn’t come in dead last.

DemocRats don’t even trust their own supporters to select their candidate.

Yep, time to take the matter out of the hands of the incompetent and put it into the hands of the corrupt. People you really trust...
