Iowa Caucus Results Riddled With Errors and Inconsistencies: The mistakes do not appear intentional, but they raise questions about whether there will ever be a completely precise accounting.

Results from the Iowa Democratic caucuses were delayed by “quality control checks” on Monday night. Days later, quality control issues have not been resolved.

The results released by the Iowa Democratic Party on Wednesday were riddled with inconsistencies and other flaws. According to a New York Times analysis, more than 100 precincts reported results that were internally inconsistent, that were missing data or that were not possible under the complex rules of the Iowa caucuses.

In some cases, vote tallies do not add up. In others, precincts are shown allotting the wrong number of delegates to certain candidates. And in at least a few cases, the Iowa Democratic Party’s reported results do not match those reported by the precincts.

Some of these inconsistencies may prove to be innocuous, and they do not indicate an intentional effort to compromise or rig the result. There is no apparent bias in favor of the leaders Pete Buttigieg or Bernie Sanders, meaning the overall effect on the winner’s margin may be small.

LMAO!!! Math is hard. When you have this convoluted system of 2 round elections and then a final assigning of delegates one is asking for trouble.

Not surprising when you have a bunch of liberal vote counters who each believe they possess their own personal “truth.”

The mistakes do not appear intentional...

Not to you, because your BOSSES are the ones who DESIGNED the “mistakes”.

The Democrats botched the Iowa caususes BIG TIME when even the normally Left-supporting New York Times thought something went seriously wrong....

Can anyone explain why:

How is it, that in the old days before computers and cell phone apps, that results were promptly and accurately reported? But in this era of technology, simple math calculations such as counting of the votes in the caucus seemingly caused paralysis among the Democrats in Iowa for days and days?

Iowa’s Secy of State (which oversees elections) and Iowa L/E authorities need to investigate.


SHADOW CEO WEIGHS IN: “All the data that was produced by calculations performed by the app was correct.

It did what it was supposed to do. The problem was caused by a bug in the code that transmits results into the party’s data warehouse.”

Is Shadow CEO confessing to committing an electronic crime?

Could be Shadow pulled a fast one on Iowa election officials. Probably sold them an old program instead of creating a new one for Iowa.

B/c if the results were skewed, Shadow was probably using one created to bollox the results .....

Maybe for Hillary? We all know how they coded the machines to give every tenth vote to Hillary.

Voter fraud and election experts’ findings from a cyber/forensic investigation reveal compromised 2018 voting machines.
(1) security protections in voting machines were disabled,
(2) penetration and manipulation of actual vote tabulations was and is possible, and
(3) evidence already exists that votes were surreptitiously, electronically manipulated to change election results.

It’s almost impossible to not think its intentional. The company is run by the wife of Hillary’s Iowa coordinator who is now senior advisor to Buttigieg’s campaign. Their names are Michael Halle and Tara McGowen.

I saw a graphic where Sanders have more votes in the first round, more votes in the final round and Buttigieg wins. Completely incomprehensible and insane.

What the MSM is not reporting on is the low turnout of the Democrat in name political party only side and the thousands of Dums that did not show up.

It’s not a state election. It’s an internal Dem Party process. They don’t have to ise democratic means at all. Might be a civil suit case, but the SOS has no say.

Forget the app. Forget the phones disconnected.

Each precinct had the original numbers they tried to put in the app or call-in to headquarters.

How difficult is it, after 3 days, to simply report the numbers?

The rule of opposites:

When the New York Slimes tells you it was not intentional, it is absolutely guaranteed that it was intentional.

They are liars—every _Time_.

Mistakes always seem to be negative for Bernie. That’s what makes it probably not just a mistake

It helps to show YOU KNOW how this might play out in subsequent elections.

The Democrats have been refining and embedding their Voter Fraud system for years and it has become endemic with their election apparatus. I think, therefore, that they have become incapable of executing an honest election, even if they want to do so. Cheating during elections is more important to their future success is more important than anything else: Policies, funding raising, selecting viable candidates, media collusion, etc. They can’t win an honest election and they know it.
