Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg maintained his slim lead in the Iowa caucuses after the second round of results from the Monday night contest was released. The results, which accounted for roughly 71 percent of the precincts that voted, showed the former South Bend, Ind., mayor with 26.8 percent of the delegate share. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) nipped at his heels with 25.2 percent. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and former Vice President Joe Biden rounded out the top four with 18.4 percent and 15.4 percent, respectively. The Iowa Democratic Party earlier Tuesday released results for 62 percent of precincts, showing...

Pete Buttigieg: 36,262 (26.9%) Bernie Sanders: 33,793 (25.1%) Elizabeth Warren: 24,623 (18.3%) Joseph R. Biden Jr.: 21,038 (15.6%) Amy Klobuchar: 16,972 (12.6%)

Even as the Iowa Democratic Party was trying to sort out the chaos in its reporting system, a party official announced that turnout was “on pace” with what they had seen in 2016. In other words, it was mediocre. About 170,000 people participated in the 2016 Iowa Democratic caucuses, far short of the unprecedented 240,000 voters who turned out in 2008 and launched Barack Obama on his way to the White House. What was so exciting a dozen years ago was not only how many Iowans showed up, but who they were: young people, first-time caucusgoers, an ethnically diverse mix...

This is the shocking moment an Iowa caucus member demands to change her vote after she realizes Pete Buttigieg is gay and married to a man. Former South Bend mayor Buttigieg declared himself victor of the Iowa caucus just after 11pm Central time on Monday, even though there are no official results. But as this clip shows one unidentified woman tried to get her vote back after hearing the news he is married to his partner of five years, Chasten. In the footage she asks Buttigieg precinct captain, Nikki van den Heever: 'Are you saying that he has the same-sex...

DES MOINES — The top Democratic presidential candidates sparred on Tuesday with leaders of the Iowa Democratic Party, and at times with one another, in a strenuous effort to shape the terms and timing of the release of results from the presidential caucuses here. Fault lines that emerged between the campaigns on Monday night quickly deepened on Tuesday, as several campaigns pressed the state party for a speedy and full release of the results and representatives of former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. continued to criticize the legitimacy of the process. The state party said in a midday statement...

Democratic Party officials said they plan to release a majority of Iowa's delayed presidential caucus results by late Tuesday, according to details shared with campaigns on a private conference call. The news did little to stem rising confusion and concern hours after voting ended without the release of a single result in the opening contest of the Democrats 2020 primary season. State party chairman Troy Price informed campaigns that he would release at least 50% of all caucus results at 4pm CST / 5 pm EST, but he declined to answer pointed questions from frustrated campaign representatives about when the...

The Iowa Democrats hosted a conference call with the campaigns within the last hour. Sources confirm the Iowa Dems hung up on the campaigns as campaigns pressed for more information about the issues with reporting and when they would receive more data/results. Sources say the call got very heated.

VIDEO The results are finally in from the Iowa caucus and the only clear winner is... President Donald Trump! All the rest of losers in the wake of the Democrat Iowa caucus disaster. The good news is that the Iowa caucus disaster has produced quite a bit of comedy gold, some of which is presented in this video.

A viral claim by a conservative activist group that voter registration numbers in Iowa are suspiciously large ahead of the first U.S. presidential nominating contest on Monday is false, a senior state government official said, and called on the group to end its “misinformation campaign.” Iowa’s Secretary of State Paul Pate, a Republican, said the claim by Washington D.C.-based group Judicial Watch that total registration numbers for caucuses in eight Iowa counties were larger than the eligible voter population had been disproven by official data. “It’s unfortunate this organization continues to put out inaccurate data regarding voter registration, and it’s...

The Iowa caucuses reveal not only a Democratic Party deliriously incompetent at handling a vote tally — this from the folks who have been screaming about voting fraud and irregularities for years — but at war with itself in a way that could lead to political disorder that will make the counting disaster look like a garden party. What little we can glean from entrance polls reveals the way in which the schematics of the intra-Democratic conflict in 2020 are very stark.

DES MOINES — The app that the Iowa Democratic Party commissioned to tabulate and report results from the caucuses on Monday was not properly tested at a statewide scale, said people who were briefed on the app by the state party. It was quickly put together in just the past two months, said the people, some of whom asked to remain anonymous because they were not authorized to speak publicly. And the party decided to use the app only after another proposal for reporting votes — which entailed having caucus participants call in their votes over the phone — was...

A highly respected Iowa poll that was canceled from being released amid integrity issues had Joe Biden in fourth place, which could have drastically altered the news cycle and voter considerations in the days before Monday's Democratic caucuses.

DES MOINES, Iowa — Iowa Democrats on Monday are kicking off the 2020 presidential nominating race at the first-in-the-nation caucuses, but many are dogged by fears that they will make the wrong pick. They universally agreed that they must oust President Trump in November but they tie themselves in knots about how to do it. Was it the “safe” choice in Joe Biden? A liberal hero in Sen. Bernard Sanders of Vermont or Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts? A youthful moderate such as former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg or Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota? The president, it seemed,...

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced that eight Iowa counties have more voter registrations than their eligible voting-age population. According to Judicial Watch’s analysis of data released by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) in 2019 and the most recent U.S. Census Bureau’s five-year American Community Survey, eight Iowa counties are on the list of 378 counties nationwide that have more voter registrations than citizens living there who are old enough to vote, i.e., counties where registration rates exceed 100%. These 378 counties combined had about 2.5 million registrations over the 100%-registered mark. In Iowa, there are at least...

NEW statement from @iowademocrats -- "While the app was recording data accurately, it was reporting out only partial data. We have determined that this was due to a coding issue in the reporting system."

Tech firm started by Clinton campaign veterans is linked to Iowa caucus reporting debacle __________ An app created by a tech firm run by veterans of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign is taking heat for the unprecedented delay in reporting Democratic caucus results from Iowa. The firm behind the app reportedly is Shadow, an affiliate of ACRONYM, a Democratic nonprofit founded in 2017 “to educate, inspire, register, and mobilize voters,” according to its website. Shadow started out as Groundbase, a tech developer co-founded by Gerard Niemira and Krista Davis, who worked for the tech team on Clinton’s campaign for the...

The Democrat Caucus is an unmitigated disaster. Nothing works, just like they ran the Country. Remember the 5 Billion Dollar Obamacare Website, that should have cost 2% of that. The only person that can claim a very big victory in Iowa last night is “Trump”.

Meanwhile, in Iowa:…and apparently the “deciders” are still counting the caucus votes in Iowa so we won’t know who they’ve “decided” on just yet. But stay tuned! We know it will be someone completely capable of running the country.Or we can have some fun and fill in the results ourselves – closest without going over wins!Otherwise just hold tight and wait for President Trump’s State of the Union address tonight. Can’t wait to hear him rap wrap up the events of the past year.Posted from: MOTUS A.D.

(CNN)The Democratic 2020 crusade to oust President Donald Trump could not have got off to a more disastrous and embarrassing start. The party couldn't even deliver a first-in-the-nation election night winner after a vote-reporting debacle in Iowa — where candidates spent months and millions of dollars vying for a glittering opening prize in their nominating duel. "Iowa, you have shocked the nation," said former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg. It was a bold attempt to declare victory in the absence of a result, but the 38-year-old inadvertently cast an ironic judgment on a political train wreck. The big Hawkeye...
