Democratic Iowa Caucus results thread (entrance poll @8pm ET)

[Landslide Lyndon]

What happens if it's a tie? A coin flip? lol

Didn't Hillary already win like 3 delegates by coin flip or something?

According to 538, that's not really what happened, but then again, it's 538...

It's not 538, an activist from Iowa explained what really happened.

[Stockdale for Veep]

Why is this garbage dump guaranteed to go first? 1 man 1 vote.

[Mr. Morden]

Nothing, I think. They'd both get the same amount of delegates out of Iowa.

Yeah, they could tie in delegates, and there'd be no need to do a coin flip.  The state doesn't have to have a "winner".  They can just send an equal number of delegates to the DNC.

And by the way I CANNOT STAND how openly anti-Sanders these CNN guys are

ugh (again)

You should have been watching MSNBC.  They were sucking Bernie's ballots all evening.

'These CNN guys' are right. Any Sanders supporters can leave the country for all I care; we wouldn't lose anything of value.

694-692

5 Clinton counties and four Sanders counties

12 precincts left

[Broken System]

13 precincts to go, 1 hair separating the two candidates.

[Boston Bread]

Des Moines is done to one downtown precinct.

It looks like Hillary won 5 delegates with a coin toss

Stupid bourgeois coins.

696-693

Clinton up 3 now

whyyy

[Broken System]

Technically, she 1 one delegate. It's still substantial as if she lost, she would have 1 less and Sanders would have 1 more.

Damn it, Bernie was just a nickle away from leading.

That was the last suburban precinct from Des Moines. All that's left is an urban one.

There's an odd number of at large national delegates, so I guess another coin flip.

Yes, but what color would Iowa be on the map?

[YPestis25]

MSNBC is saying 90 precincts weren't staffed by the Iowa Democratic Party.

DWS should resign immediately this is disgraceful.

Okay, apparently the Iowa Democratic Party is denying this.

[Panhandle Progressive]

Iowa has been a clusterf**k in back-to-back cycles now, just for opposing parties. Seriously Iowans, get your s**t together.

ten precincts left

696-693

[Volrath50]

But, but... Caucuses! The purest form of democracy! The great state of Iowa cannot be sullied by such undemocratic plots like secret ballots, quick and easy voting, or you know, actually recording how many people voted for candidates!

[Warren 4 Secretary of Everything]

Iowa has been a clusterf**k in back-to-back cycles now, just for opposing parties. Seriously Iowans, get your s**t together.

This just goes to show that Iowa should lose their first-in-the-nation status to Florida

[Boston Bread]

Come on black hawk county!

Come on black hawk county!

Hancock looks kinda threatening; they still have 20% out and it's for Hillary in the 60s so far.

[The Other Castro]

AP says there are 1681 precincts, but Microsoft has it at 1683 precincts.
