CNN cant and wont report unofficial results (and neither will any news station) especially after 2000 with Florida.

but the caucuses talk about their numbers at them so they likely have staffers all over getting news over to their camps. These numbers will give the campaign a ballpark of how they did but CNN isnt gonna share those rough numbers with us

Maybe he thought he had the go ahead from the DNC to do some dirty work? He probably thought he'd get the Clinton treatment and be allowed to cheat.

Clinton already did it last election and got away with it so maybe that's just "how the game is played".

Yeah, why would we not ask questions about any portion of history? Lol.

Do you know how creepy and dystopian that is? George Orwell levels of thought policing.

Does the modern world never discover new facts or theories about historical events....?

How the fuck does a malfunctioning app even help the DNC to rig the vote? What do they gain? Is it too much to ask from bernie bros that their conspiracy theories be somewhat plausible?

Bernie is the one who demanded this new system, stop blaming other people when it runs into temporary issues. If you want a Sanders presidency you're going to have to get used to his dumb policies backfiring like this.

I could make an excel spreadsheet that does all of what is on that paper for you with basic data entry involved, lock it up so it can't be modified in less than 10 minutes. This party is so fucking incompetent it's insane. There's no reason we should still be using paper and sending in the results by phone lmao

No the problem is people wanting transparency but then crying when it takes longer to get all that information.

Demanding the DNC introduce a new system and then making baseless accusations against the DNC when it runs into a few problems is a good example of why people don't like Sanders supporters.

It wouldnt have taken this long if theyd had redundancies in place (i.e. a sufficient number of phone agents) in the event that the app failed. Instead the app DID fail and they didnt have the staff available to cover for it. Its incompetence on the part of the state party, plain and simple.

Broseph_Stalin has consistently been arrogant and dismissive of anything regarding legitimate complaints about the democratic process within the Democratic Party, almost entirely in favor of establishment candidates. Rather than advocate for his views in a constructive manner, he opts to ridicule the more progressive wing, and lables anyone who disagrees with him as a naive "Bernie Bro", despite what they may actually believe. His acerbic nature should be a real red flag for anyone seeking to argue with him.

Struggling to adopt a new byzantine process of tabulating results, Iowa Democrats offered little explanation for the problem for hours after the caucuses began. Eventually, not long before midnight on the East Coast, a spokeswoman for the state party said there was no issue with the integrity of the vote but it was taking longer than anticipated to collect and check the reported data for irregularities.

This is simply a reporting issue, the app did not go down and this is not a hack or an intrusion, said Mandy McClure, a spokeswoman for the Iowa Democratic Party. The underlying data and paper trail is sound and will simply take time to further report the results.
