“Here’s a count with Bernie winning by 2588 votes”

Iowa delegates are not awarded based on the state-wide vote, which is just as irrelevant as the so-called “popular” vote in the national Presidential election. Dem Iowa delegates are independently awarded from each of nearly 1,700 precinct caucuses in Iowa, and the number of people voting at a caucus is based on how many show up, while the number of delegates of a precinct is a fixed number based on the number of registered Dems in a precinct, thus there’s zero correlation between the total number of people voting and the number of delegates that are awarded ... that’s why caucuses are a ridiculous way to select candidates ..
