The idea that Biden could finish 5th in Iowa but gets spared the embarrasing headlines because IDP can't run their caucuses properly and then its all SOTU/Impeachment/New Hampshire reallly pisses me off

 

You didn't really answer my question there. Like yeah the math was hard for people to understand. That is part of why caucuses are terrible. We both agree there.

How did the changes they made this year make the math harder? If anything, didn't it just show that the math has always been hard and we've always been fucking it up we just didn't realize till now because only the final results previously got reported?

 

I mean you can google the changes if you wanna see how it’s done. It’s a new process. New points of failure and human error. They didn’t have to do all of this in the past. This is new and different in the realignment step.

 

Pete's entire strategy revolved around using Iowa to give himself a big boost of momentum. Not surprised he is trying to salvage something with his "I totally won guys" malarkey

 

I’ve never seen anything like this.

Bernie by all accounts won tonight and this is what’s gonna be all anyone remembers.

fuck.

he’ll win NH and Nevada next at least and start the snowball

Open source the app. Let’s see if it’s human error or bad code or what.

 

Starting to seem like I should just give up and go to bed

 

Yep. Heard this “let’s just do it the old way” stuff from people on the ground

 

Is Nevada using the same app that Iowa did tonight for their caucus?

 

I am very very ashamed to be a former resident of South Bend, Indiana tonight

(never voted for Pete tho, stayed registered elsewhere)

 

Their party apparatus signed on for it so I assume so

 

apparently yes

 

It looks like it.

And I can’t tell if it’s a bad app or people confused or what is happening yet.
(Or all of the above.)

 

i won't be able to handle this again
