The first results actually had Bernie in the lead, so you might want to KEEP the Iowa results.

I watched the news this morning. Results from the Iowa thing continue to come in and, apparently, will keep on happing for several days. All the candidates have moved on and, as far as I can tell, nobody cares anymore. If nothing else, however, it is yet another democratic screwup.
Hopefully the last (yet more wishful thinking - sorry....)

It's time for Uncle Joe to quit and support one of the three that has a chance.
What can we do to help you stop screaming?

Actually this is fairly normal for the Iowa caucus process. It is not a direct vote. Caucuses select electors who go to later "super-caucuses", and I think there is another layer from there. Those other meetings have not happened yet. So the "results" they are reporting are preliminary and approximate. That's why Pete and Bernie are ahead in different parameters. Sort of like the popular vote versus the electoral college.

It's time for Uncle Joe to quit and support one of the three that has a chance. I'm thinking he's destined to fail in New Hampshire too and probably Nevada. If he doesn't turn it around in South Caroline he's toast for sure. He doesn't have a lot of cash and a series of losses will put an end to him. He'll probably drop out soon after Bloomberg enters the fray. At least that's what I'd like to see.

Oh, hey. This is interesting. https://apnews.com/5232ce5601996c1de440806ad30fa4fbWASHINGTON (AP) — The little-known technology start-up under scrutiny after the meltdown of the Iowa Democratic caucuses on Monday was founded little more than a year ago by veterans of Hillary Clinton’s failed 2016 presidential campaign who had presented themselves as gurus of campaigning in the digital era.
Shadow Inc. was picked in secret by the Iowa Democratic Party after its leaders consulted with the Democratic National Committee on vetting vendors and security protocols for developing a phone app used to gather and tabulate the caucus results.

Shenanigans...?

Looks like shenanigans to me.
Can't trust the voters to make these important decisions!

Turns out it was shenanigans. Trump trolls on 4chan posted the Iowa backup system phone number and their troll army flooded the reporting phone lines and then bragged about it on 4chan. The people answering the phones reported a sudden spike in phony calls and even obscene calls right after the phone number was posted. People may be prosecuted for this, since 4chan does keep logs and IP numbers of posters.
This could actually change 4chan if all these guys got probation that banned them from contact with 4chan!

And people wonder why Dems want increased regulation. Oh sure, let's just let these 4chan kiddies wreck our elections, who needs the Russians? It's "FREE SPEACH!"

I dropped in on 4chan/b to see what the kiddies are up to. There was one poster on there saying he was ordering as many cheap items as he could like clothes from China so he could get the corona virus. They tend to idolize school shooters, incest, pedophilia, and cuckoldry. Very strange place with gay bashing threads but lots of gay sex stories, racist threads but lots of admiration of Black sexuality.
The only good thing about it is that a significant number of posters want encouragement to kill themselves.
