Amid irregularities, AP unable to declare winner in Iowa
AP ^ | 02 06 2020 | Staff

The Associated Press said Thursday that it is unable to declare a winner of Iowa’s Democratic caucuses.

With 97% of precincts reporting from Monday’s caucuses, former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg leads Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders by three state delegate equivalents out of 2,098 counted. That is a margin of 0.14 percentage points.

However, even as the Iowa Democratic Party’s effort to complete its tabulation of the caucus results continues, Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez on Thursday asked the Iowa Democratic Party to conduct a recanvass. That is not a recount, but rather a check of the vote count to ensure the results were added correctly.

Perez sought the recanvass following days of uncertainty about the results reported by the Iowa Democratic Party, which includes technology problems with the mobile phone app used by the party to collect results from caucus sites, an overwhelming number of calls to the party’s backup phone system and a subsequent delay of several days of reporting the results.

The Iowa Democratic Party suggested it may not comply with Perez’s request, issuing a statement that said it would conduct a recanvass if one was requested by one of the candidates.

According to Newt Gingrich this morning on Fox Bernie got the most votes on the First and also on the Second ballot.

Actually, President Trump won pretty decisively in Iowa.

Why are the people who rail against the Electoral College find themselves unable to report the raw vote total in a single state?

Newt is correct, and that much is undisputed. The problem is that the media has been using the SDEs as the “metric” for declaring the winner.

1. Because they are afraid Bernie might be weak in the General.

2. Word is that Bathhouse Barry has a fascination with the Queer and really wants to push him, but doesn’t want to throw Biden under the bus until he really has to.
