Sanders: We may look into a recount

posted at 8:41 am on February 2, 2016

by Ed Morrissey

While Ted Cruz won a five-point victory in what really turned into a three-way race in the GOP's Iowa Caucus, the Democratic Party's side of the caucus turned into a real nailbiter. Hillary Clinton clung to a lead of less than a percentage point by the end of the night, with both she and Bernie Sanders claiming victory at the end. At the moment, CNN's election tracker still shows a 50/50 tie, although Hillary has 24 delegates assigned to Bernie's 21, thanks to the arcane and opaque process by which Democrats operate their caucuses.

Speaking of which, Bernie may want a recount. NBC's Kasie Hunt caught up with the challenger after he deplaned in New Hampshire, and while he's looking forward, he might still want one careful look back too:

How does one recount a caucus? Even on the Republican side that would be difficult, as was discovered in 2012 in the razor-thin outcome between Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney. On the Democratic side, it would be all but impossible, thanks to the multiple-round system employed.

A recount, or a re-flip?

I’m thinking a real recount (or real count in the first place) wouldn’t result in the same odds Hillary got with 6 coin tosses. I just don’t believe there were that many ‘tied’ precincts.

SOMETHING is fishy.

Why not drawn swords, or flintlock pistols at 20 paces?

Frankly Sanders is the best entertainment of the whole election, i can possibly hear Shrillary half a planet away screaming, “I want his balls! I want more stolen votes!”

" I just don’t believe there were that many ‘tied’ precincts."

You are correct. People talk about the statistical impossibility of six coin tosses. What about the statistical impossibility of so many people behaving like those same coins by the thousands?

The coin tosses are a distraction to the real fraud. People in control had orders.

It was those magic “coin tosses” that did Bernie in.

He really doesn’t want to be president; if so, he’d have said definitely a recount.

" I want more stolen votes!”

Please sir..........Those are not stolen votes the democrats find every election. They are remaining yet not apportioned voter intent counts which have arrived by maximizing voter turnout efforts.

Watch your words sir!

Sure hope Hillary doesn’t write a Lasix ‘script for poor ‘ol Bernie. So says the ghost of Jim Mcdougal...

Agree. You know we’ve all seen how race related bias lawsuits are brought to court on a basis of “too many blacks don’t succeed, get good test scores, promotions, etc.” and the courts more often than not enforce the ‘data’ as a statistical certainty there is obvious bias going on without even investigating other possible real causes.

Here, in this case, for what I think is impossible, media, Hillary’s campaign and even RINOs are taking as obvious happenstance fact. Incredible.

Comrade Bernie will win next week in NH and Iowa will become a memory.

That is why RINO's are LOSERS. They won't dare to speak out when it really counts.

“May look into...” That Bernie really knows how to lay on some wood.

How about saying this, Bernie: “Hillary knows her “victory” is a fraud. She rigged the results by controlling the Iowa Democrat Party. My mentor Joseph Stalin said it best: ‘It’s not who casts the votes that matters; it’s who counts them.’ “

What happened with the five “missing” precincts?
