Iowa Democratic Caucus Results — 38 Comments

  1. That’s nice. Bernie won by 2,000 votes, and since they’re even in delegates, Pete getting 2ish more SDE’s means less than nothing. Gotta love the corrupt Democratic Party, screwing over Bernie in the most obvious way in the first bloody primary/caucus in the entire election.

  2. The Democratic party took a lot of input on primary reform after 2016 to help adopt a system that he and his supporters would consider fair. Sanders wanted to preserve caucuses. Though the number of caucuses was decreased.

  3. Abolish the minority rule gerrymander EC — esp ALL the caucus oligarch JUNK.

    Uniform definition of Elector in ALL of USA.

    NONPARTISAN AppV – pending Condorcet.

    Math MORON system on paper =

    math MORON results — NO surprise.

    MORON Donkeys have been rigging their JUNK delegate selection systems since the infamous 1968 Donkey Convention in Chicago — with the Chicago police R-I-O-T.

    It shows – new ROT each 4 years.

  5. @DR,

    The arithmetic errors highlighted in the Popular Mechanics article are due to people not being able to do multiplication and division. They should have had an app that would do the calculation for them.

    = 1/4 OR LESS CONTROL = OLIGARCHY.

    Much, much, much worse caucus, primary and convention math.

    ALL 99 houses in state legislatures and many local regimes = mini-copies of USA H Reps.

  9. Klobuchar is like that aunt (who married your uncle) that you don’t talk to and try to avoid at family gatherings.

  10. ANY of the minor parties being *democratic* and having an all paper mail ballots via snail mail by ALL minor party members for USA Prez — BEFORE any State required caucus/primary/conventions ???

    Might help to ABOLISH the super-timebomb minority rule electoral college.

  11. @DR,

    The precinct leaders were told to bring a calculator and a coin, and when to have a snack.

    A calculator won’t help if you can’t check the reults. They should have used Ste.Lague.

  12. Stacey Abrams is the logical VP nominee for democrats unless they could somehow persuade Michelle Obama or Oprah Winfrey, which is highly unlikely.

  13. It seems there is a growing consensus that caucuses are outdated and that the time of having two of the whitest states in the country go first should be over. Hopefully this is the last time we have to deal with either one of those.

  14. JR — any laptops allowed with spreadsheet math programs/apps ???

    for + – X / math.

    ANY dress rehearsal — aka WAR game — done before election day ???


    MW- Donkeys LOVE their diversity stuff – no matter how insane.

    See DESTRUCTION of many older cities and suburbs and bankruptcy of the USA and many State/local govts by the Donkeys since 1929.

    Will be about $$$ 40 TRILLION in ALL govt debts by Nov 2020 election day.

    ZERO mention in ALL the super-moron so-called debates – esp the olde TV networks.

    Econ Great Depression III will start when *just enough* foreign creditors demand CASH and do NOT re-cycle govt debts.

  16. @DR,

    Precinct caucuses in Iowa choose delegates to county conventions. The county conventions serve as vacancy bodies for the party. County convention delegates serve two-year terms. The convention can be reconvened as necessary.

    The precinct caucus as a whole ratifies the slate of county delegates. That vote is recorded on a sheet that includes the names of the county delegates that is sent to the county auditor.

    Iowa has grafted presidential nomination onto this process, by allocating county delegates to supporters of the presidential candidates. Instead of electing Grant Wood to the county convention, they elect Grant Wood, the Biden backer.

    The worksheets document the process of selecting the county delegastes. It is signed by the precinct chair, the precinct secretary, and a representative of each candidate who received delegates. There is a warning that any misrepresentation is subject to penalty under Iowa election law.

    If there were math mistakes, it might not be possible to go back and change who was elected, or might require a legal challenge.

    There may also be mistakes in tabulating results. The results reported by the state party may not reflect the results on the worksheet. Those can be corrected.

  17. JR –

  19. @DR,

    Original meaning of graft, as in grafting roses or fruits on established root-stock.

    In the case of Iowa, they have grafted the process of presidential candidate selection onto the rootstock of party governance.

    Do you think voting for public office has fewer errors, particularly with secretive voting.

    Scanned paper ballots ???
