Iowa Democrats Give Buttigieg the Most Delegates as Sanders Team Seeks Recanvass
NYT ^ | Feb 9, 2020 | Trip Gabriel

DES MOINES — Nearly a full week after the Iowa caucuses, the state Democratic Party on Sunday released results indicating that Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Ind., was the winner after it updated data from 55 precincts. But errors in the result tabulations have led several news organizations, including The New York Times, to refrain from calling the race....

The Associated Press, which historically verifies election results and makes calls on the outcome of races, has not allotted the final delegate to Mr. Buttigieg because of the errors in the caucus results-counting, nor has The A.P. declared a winner in the Iowa race. The Times, which has followed The A.P.’s calls in the past, has not assigned the final delegate to Mr. Buttigieg....

“The incorrect math on the Caucus Math Worksheets must not be changed to ensure the integrity of the process,” wrote the party lawyer, Shayla McCormally, according to an email sent by Troy Price, the chairman of the party, to its central committee members. The lawyer said correcting the math would introduce “personal opinion” into the official record of results.

The party said that Mr. Buttigieg had received 14 delegates, Senator Bernie Sanders took 12, Senator Elizabeth Warren earned eight, former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. received six and Senator Amy Klobuchar got one.

“correcting the math would introduce “personal opinion” into the official record of results.”

These are Dims. Everything is relative.

Bernie could have taken him out easily a few months ago but now it’ll be tough. This guy takes no positions (political at least).

So it’s a “come from behind” win for Buttigieg.

“This guy takes no positions”

Not entirely true. Early on he was right there with the rest of em. He endorsed every radical idea. Looks like the DNC has made it’s choice. They are cranking up the BS narrative that Poofer Pete is the calm reasonable alternative to “that crazy Bernie”. MSM is on board every network had him showcased yesterday. My money is on him now. With the right vp he can solve his black problem. I wish Joe could have controlled his mouth until Septmeber he would have been much easier to beat. His being gay will be sent into the shadows and it won’t be allowed to be brought up during the general.

I’ve been going to the comments section at The Hill and challenging Bernie Bots to oppose being bent over yet again by the dem establishment. Either they raise hell against that party or they have the ‘nads of gnats and actually LIKE it.

Agree that he’ll be hiding the fact that he sits on penis’ during the general but I really do hope Trump is willing to make a big deal of it because people need to know who he is. Like Obama though they are using his inexperience to his advantage as he is basically a white canvas

Pete would need maybe one of the 2 black losers from Florida or Georgia.

It’s only until Butt Gig is fully exposed for the unnatural acts of being ‘married’ to another man.

Have people thought about how Buttegig and his husband would be received in the Middle East were he to be president?

Troy Price, the chairman of the party, to its central committee members.

Oh, look, the democrats have a central committee

I'm not surprised at all.

From Wikipedia:

The Central Committee is the common designation of a standing administrative body of communist parties, analogous to a board of directors, whether ruling or non-ruling in the 20th century and of the surviving communist states in the 21st century.

It must be brought out but Trump will need surrogates. They will be waiting for him with the homophobe BS. If they want to keep the rats from pulling the BS that Peat is the “reasonable common sense alternative to Bernie” that need to start now before the rats establish it. He was right there with the rest of them early on.

I do not understand dimoKKKRAT math. In every result I have seen Bernie has more votes yet Buttplug gets more delegates.

Watch out useless eater. Those “rape fantasies” might boomerang on you. Where’s James Hodgkinson when you need him?

Well, THAT'S a problem we had better solve before we have a "national popular vote", huh?
