Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnel slammed Democrats on Tuesday for mismanaging the Iowa caucuses, delaying the votes almost one full day, saying they “can’t even count votes.â€
“The same Democrats who want to take over everyone’s healthcare and plan the entire economy couldn’t even organize the traditional Iowa caucuses. Liberal experts want to micromanage the whole country but they can’t even count votes like we’ve done in this country for 230 years,†McConnel said in a statement to Politico.
Like usual, voters gathered at the precinct at 7 p.m. central time. The voters visibly stood in groups for their preferred candidate. The candidates needed 15% support to be considered “viable.†Once their first choice was eliminated, voters were then asked to consider caucusing with a remaining viable candidate. The candidate who had the most caucus-goers after the second vote won the delegates for that precinct.
