Des Moines Precinct 70 was tied, 61-61, and was decided by a coin flip. Went for Hillary. Every vote matters!

The fact that the media is trying to spill this as a win for Sanders is laughable (though very predictable). It's a virtual tie, but it's in one of Sanders' top 5 states demographically. It would be equivalent to Bernie tying Clinton in a Deep South state.
Sanders started this race in single digits, little resources and low name recognition. He was able to tie Clinton in a state. That's pretty impressive - how many people suspected when he first announced that he would be even with Clinton tonight?

I watched this live and found it odd. They only counted new people on their side and added it to their prior total. If 4 people switched then Bernie would have won 5-4, making him 2 votes closer.
