Democrat Pete Buttigieg held a slight lead over Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in the Iowa caucuses as more results trickled in on Wednesday.

The caucuses were held Monday but technical problems caused an unprecedented delay in reporting the results. No candidate has been declared the winner yet, and results are still coming in.

As of Wednesday night, Buttigieg, the former South Bend, Ind., mayor, led the race with 26.5 percent of delegates over the 25.6 percent in favor of Sanders, according to numbers released by the Iowa Democratic Party.

Apparently, the 'powers that be' have decided that Buttigieg is the least loony of all the Dems in the clown car.
I'm sure the actual vote had a minimal (if any) impact on the outcome. The DNC is running the vote, and they are putting out whatever results they want to. The 'faith' in the veracity of this election is nonexistent.

Last I saw was 97% counted .... Sanders with a 2.5k lead in total votes... but delegates... not so much.

30-40 years ago, if you would have told me that the top 3 Iowa (yes farm country Iowa) winners of their primary/caucus were 2 avowed socialists and a homosexual?  I'd called you loony.

The fact that Bloomberg has 20 votes in the final count is utterly priceless.

That's 20 more than I expected he'd get.
