Iowa Democrats Won’t Correct Errors on Caucus Tally Sheets, Emails Show. The worksheets could not be changed even if they contained mistakes, according to the lawyer for the state party, because they were a legal record and altering them would be a crime.

It’s just quality control.

“The incorrect math on the Caucus Math Worksheets must not be changed to ensure the integrity of the process,”

and they say CHEATERS never win... unless it's with the blessings of the DNC!

Knowingly creating, submitting, and refusing to correct error filled records is protecting integrity. Going through the legal process to correct those records is a crime. No wonder Democrats are going to the President’s rallies.

This isn’t funny. They got caught doing fraud, and don’t seem to care.

Yep, this is so Machiavellian. They have just legitimized their illegality since math errors have the same net effect as outright fraud, because who could distinguish intent from someone that was just bad at math from someone that deliberately rigged the numbers? By this ruling the DNC has managed to rig an election so no one can ever change any fraud even if they are caught after the fact! Hey Bernie Bots, you feeling the burn yet after being screwed Ver2.0?

If the tally math paper in Iowa says 2+2=5, and there were only four people present, it seems that their rules would make it a crime to change the total to 4. And the Dems want to take over Health Care for all Americans. Yikes!

Maybe a bank robber can try that one. “Hey, ownership of this money has changed hands. It legally mine now.”

Or:...I found it before it was lost.

In other words once the fix is in, it can’t be changed.

This is what happens when your first motive is to control the outcome.

It is Libtard 101.

Why should they correct the errors? The chaos achieved the intended goal—it prevented Bernie from emerging from Iowa as a clear-cut winner.

It’s strictly a party matter. No state money or oversight is involved.

The unaltered sheets are likely evidence in a civil suit. These are smart lawyers, after all.

Thank you. I forgot this was a primary with no state certs.

Still, they can keep the originals and correct copies to properly tally the results. There is no justification for hiding behind "legal documents" to prevent the state from calculating them properly from approved copies.

Unless they don't want to and would rather keep the chaos going.

A crime? Since when did Dems give a crap about not breaking the “law”?
