Four things to watch for in the Iowa caucuses
by Naomi Lim
| February 03, 2020 02:45 PM
DES MOINES, Iowa — Well, it’s finally here.
The first Democratic presidential candidate launched his campaign in July 2017. Now, Iowa caucusgoers, who have been relentlessly harangued by campaigns, pollsters, and reporters for more than a year, will on Monday weigh in on which candidate they want to take on President Trump for the White House in the fall.
The primary process has whittled the historically crowded field down to a more manageable size. But the unpredictable nature of caucuses, designed to encourage participants to change their minds, and the unusual number of Iowans who are still undecided before the opening 2020 nominating contest lay the ground for a bumpy ride across this first finish line.
Here are four observations to keep in mind on caucus night:
New rules and the number of tickets out of Iowa
Caucuses are complex.
Candidates need to pull 15% support at individual sites scattered across Iowa, whether it’s a local school gymnasium or church basement, to remain viable in the state’s 1,678 precincts. Backers of candidates who fall short can “realign†with another contender, with their friends, neighbors, and campaign organizers often trying to cajole them into joining their hopeful’s corner.
The caucuses usually serve as a mechanism to narrow the field, but not this year.
For the first time, the Iowa Democratic Party will disclose raw vote counts from the first and final alignments, in addition to the resulting state and national delegate allocations. The extra data points, along with Trump’s Senate impeachment trial, provide lower-tier candidates with a plethora of excuses for a poor performance and reasons to stay in the race.
Some candidates with long-shot bids have already given up on Iowa, focusing their efforts instead on the New Hampshire primary election next week on Feb. 11. Others, such as Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, said this weekend they would compete in the second contest “no matter what.â€
"Of course I'm going there. We have a strong operation there, and then going beyond,†Klobuchar, 59, told Fox News Sunday.

I like a good fight / good show. Bernie vs. Trump is a competitive race.
Trump always worried about Biden, hence his "perfect phone call."
Biden was never a legitimate threat.
Bernie is.

Bernie is an absolute threat as there are so many who think socialism is the answer to all their problems.

Klobuchar would be the most trouble for Trump in 2020, IMHO, and I can already guess his name for her: 'Mean Amy'.
None of them have a chance against Trump, he will 'scorched earth' in vanquishing all comers.

President Trump will win the Iowa Republican Iowa caucuses.
The president enjoys strong support from Republicans and pro-life Americans after building a strong pro-life record.

Why we might see more than one ‘winner’
Anthony Zurcher
BBC North America reporter, Iowa
At each of the 1,677 locations across the state, a candidate must have the support of at least 15% of voters in order to qualify for a chance to win Iowa delegates to the national convention in July - when the candidate is ultimately picked.
After a first round of tabulations, those who support a candidate that doesn't reach "viability" have the opportunity to switch sides.
Complicating everything is the new reporting system the Democratic Party has instituted for the Iowa caucus results.

I hope their turnout is flat from '16. They know they need big numbers to win the general and if they can't get butts to the primaries + causes they know they are screwed.

Vote-reporting mess leaves Iowa with no victor on caucus night
Which should be interpreted as..... If the dims can't conduct a simple primary (caucus), how do you expect them to run this country.
Or....
IF you want to go rampant with conspiracy theories, is that the Urkraine Stank is sticking to Biden, (5th place finish, and the dnc can not come to grips with two socialist front runners.)

Yes. That is what the majority of Americans (Dem and Pub) think is what happened. They didn't like the result, so they said, 'We will just trash it.' Shredders are onfire in Iowa right now.
In the end they will announce that Biden won. Without releasing any vote results or numbers. They will just declare, in some kind of ceremony, "BIDEN WON!!!" without ever releasing any results.
To all the Democrats on this board...this is YOUR Party at work. This is what they do. And you support them. Idiots.

honored, and all bona fide presidential candidates will have the opportunity to make their case to the

Sanders releases internal numbers showing him winning Iowa caucuses
by Joseph Simonson
| February 04, 2020 01:37 AM
DES MOINES, Iowa — Bernie Sanders's campaign says its internal vote count showed the Vermont senator winning the Iowa caucuses, though the state's Democratic Party has released no results.
According to the campaign, Sanders won 29.66% of the vote in nearly 40% of precincts in the first Democratic nominating contest. Not all precinct locations were included in Sanders's numbers. The statement also showed former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg in second place at 24.59% of the vote, Sen. Elizabeth Warren in third at 21.24% of the vote, and former Vice President Joe Biden at 12.37% of the vote. Sen. Amy Klobuchar placed fifth at 11%.

Iowa Democrats say 'coding' error led to caucus reporting debacle
By Seth McLaughlin - The Washington Times - Tuesday, February 4, 2020
ANKENY, Iowa — The chair of the Iowa Democrats said Tuesday the caucus reporting system broke down after a “coding issue†led to inconsistencies in counts and forced the data that was coming in from the more than 1,600 precincts to be logged in manually.
Troy Price, head of the state party, said the party plans to release the final results later in the day.
He said alarm bells went off Monday night when it “became clear there were inconsistencies with the reports†— triggering an “investigation†into what went wrong.

What is truly scary about this is that Democrats have long pushed to "reduce barriers to voting." They want people to be able to vote from home via computer, or from their phones, etc..
Thing is...you never get a second shot to have a fair, reliable election. If something unexpected goes wrong (and the things that go wrong generally are things you didn't anticipate/predict), you cannot restore the faith of voters in that result. It is gone forever. And if we have a Presidential election that were to look anything like this caucus, voters on the losing side won't accept the result. Nor should they.

Iowa caucus disaster tied to Hillary Clinton’s former campaign manager
by Becket Adams
| February 04, 2020 12:21 AM
The Democratic Party’s first big showing in the 2020 election has been an unmitigated disaster.
On Sunday, a highly anticipated poll of likely Iowa Democratic caucus-goers was scuttled after a voter complained of polling irregularities, prompting the survey's conductors to shelve the results out of an "abundance of caution."
On Monday, the day of caucuses, Iowa Democratic Party members held emergency meetings late into the evening over possible voting irregularities and precinct reporting errors. They announced eventually an indefinite delay to the release of the election results due to "quality checks."
At this rate, with this sort of disorder and chaos, President Trump is going to steamroll whomever the Democrats throw at him and his well-oiled machine this November. It is going to be like the 2016 election all over again, which is really quite appropriate considering Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign manager, Robby Mook, is reportedly tied to the electoral mess in Iowa.
It is a bit convoluted, but it goes like this: The Iowa Democratic Party tried something new this year. It tried to synchronize all election reporting with a new smartphone app, “which is downloaded on the personal cellphones of caucus managers to tabulate and report results,†the Des Moines Register reports.

Andrew Yang shifts blame to Trump for Iowa Democratic caucus debacle
by Spencer Neale
February 04, 2020 11:15 AM
Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang ripped President Trump after the voting app commissioned by the Iowa Democratic Party to count Democratic caucus voters experienced a technological error.
"It might be helpful to have a President and government that understand technology so this sort of thing doesn’t happen," tweeted Yang.
Yang, 45, made a name for himself in the tech industry and has established himself as the most comfortable presidential candidate when speaking on topics of tech and automation. His cornerstone universal basic income plan would guarantee $1,000 a month to every adult in America.

Judicial Watch: Dirty Registration Rolls in Iowa Have More Names Than Eligible Voters
Katie Pavlich @KatiePavlich Posted: Feb 03, 2020
...
But according to government watchdog Judicial Watch, Iowa is ripe for voter fraud.
"Judicial Watch announced that at least eight Iowa counties have voter registration rolls larger than their voting age population. According to Judicial Watch’s analysis of data released by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) this year, these eight counties are on the list of 378 counties nationwide that have more voter registrations than citizens living there who are old enough to vote, i.e., counties where registration rates exceed 100%. These 378 counties combined had about 2.5 million registrations over the 100%-registered mark. In Iowa, there are least 18,658 'extra names' on the voting rolls in the eight counties at issue," the organization released in a statement.
Judicial Watch broke the numbers down by county, noting some of the biggest and most influential areas have suspiciously high registration rates. While Polk County, the largest in the state, doesn't have a registration rate higher than the population, its 95.9 percent rate is cause for alarm.

So, I think that "reg. rate", is saying for example, Dallas County, the first one in the table, has a 114% registered rate of eligible voters, so, more registered voters than eligible...
So, she wrote this ahead of time. I heard someone with a far flung theory that they are doing this for Hillary. I don't really buy that but I am mentioning it just in case. Who knows?

Iowa caucus disaster tied to Hillary Clinton’s former campaign manager
by Becket Adams
| February 04, 2020 12:21 AM
The Democratic Party’s first big showing in the 2020 election has been an unmitigated disaster.
On Sunday, a highly anticipated poll of likely Iowa Democratic caucus-goers was scuttled after a voter complained of polling irregularities, prompting the survey's conductors to shelve the results out of an "abundance of caution."
-
"It might be helpful to have a President and government that understand technology so this sort of thing doesn’t happen," tweeted Yang.
It sounds like Yang is giving reasons not to vote for the Democratic Party. This was their problem, not the government.

Klobuchar would be the most trouble for Trump in 2020, IMHO, and I can already guess his name for her: 'Mean Amy'.
None of them have a chance against Trump, he will 'scorched earth' in vanquishing all comers.
I believe the eventual dem nominee is like the dog that chases cars. It usually doesn't end well.

Drudge is reporting results so far, with 62% reported:
BUTTIGIEG 27%
SANDERS 25%
WARREN 18%
BIDEN 15%
Now, I'd be willing to take a bet that the Iowa Democrat Party cherry-picked which results to report so as to diminish Bernie. I suspect that when the full totals are in, Bernie will have won. But of course, they'll have succeeded in blunting any momentum he might have had....

DES MOINES, Iowa — Early and incomplete results from Iowa’s Democratic caucuses showed former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg narrowly leading Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), a triumphant edge for two outsider candidates that was overshadowed by technical errors that delayed the vote count for almost a day.
The first batch of results, which accounted for 62 percent of the approximately 1,700 precincts across the state, showed Buttigieg leading with about 28 percent of the delegates who will eventually be elected to the national convention. Sanders was running second, with 25 percent of the so-called delegate shares.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) had taken 18 percent of the vote, while former Vice President Joe Biden lagged in fourth place with just under 16 percent.

Steyer and Pelosi Poured Money into Firm Behind Botched Iowa App
Joe Schoffstall - February 4, 2020 6:34 PM
Acronym, the dark-money group behind the mobile app that derailed the news cycle by causing widespread delays in the Iowa caucus results, received funding from the political operations of Tom Steyer and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, financial records reveal.
Acronym acquired Shadow Inc., the tech firm that developed the app used to tabulate results in the Iowa caucus, in early 2019. According to public records and tax forms reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon, both Acronym's nonprofit arm and its affiliated political action committee have been the beneficiaries of huge volumes of liberal dark money.
Among Acronym's close relationships, the filings show, are powerful politicians and wealthy donors that frequently come under fire from the Democratic Party's left-wing. Those tight connections with the Democratic establishment could lead to more questions amid the post-Iowa furor and may provoke further outrage from supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders's (I., Vt.). ...

Keep your eye on Buttigieg – feisty guy – he can do okay in New Hampshire. 7 days is a long time, particularly when you have chaos all over the place.
He is positioning himself as a moderate, he is not, but he has never been scrutinized in an interview, so you don’t know that.

Buttigieg slightly increases lead after new Iowa precincts report
Former Mayor Pete Buttigieg slightly increased his lead over Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) as the Iowa Democratic Party reported a new round of precinct-level results on Wednesday.
With almost 75 percent of precincts reporting, the ex-mayor of South Bend, Ind., now holds 26.9 percent of the delegate shares allocated across the state, the new results show. That is a tenth of a point higher than his level of support when the state party showed 71 percent of precincts reporting late Tuesday.
Sanders is still nipping at Buttigieg’s heels with 25.2 percent, unchanged from the last round of results. Several precincts that are likely to break for Sanders have yet to report, making the race too close to call.

They concluded Biden's gone because of what the Impeachment exposed, and Sanders is certifiably Communist. So is Warren. So how does the Party get en electable candidate on track? Those were considered the three most likely to win.
So, they decided to burn the whole hand and try for a fresh dealing, from scratch. It seems this is really just a game of draw poker.

I don't see how the rats are going to avoid a mixed 2-4-8-9-J mix suited hand, with an unelectable candidate. Dims are going to get a dose of some tasty recent political history to the tune of Goldwater-64, & McGovern-72 .

Pete Buttigieg campaign did not pay for Iowa Caucus app
By AMANDA SEITZ February 4, 2020
...
AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. Buttigieg’s campaign paid the company that created the app that failed during the Iowa Caucus for different technology services.
THE FACTS: Social media posts are claiming that Buttigieg’s campaign either funded or created the app used during the Iowa Caucus that was the cause of major delay in voting results.
Buttigieg’s campaign paid Shadow Inc., the company behind the Iowa Caucus app, $42,500 in July for text messaging software, campaign finance records show. The software was not related to that developed for the Iowa Caucus.

The movers and shakers that own the Dim Party aren't really communists,and never were. They are and have always been Globalists with a fascist lean. I think at this point they would be thrilled if all the dedicated Communists in the Dim Party raised their sails and sailed off into the sunset. Yeah,they were handy from the 30's to the 80's or so,but since then they have brought the DNC ownership more grief than joy,and they damn sure haven't brought any cash to the table.
Remember,the goal is to establish World Wide Government,Inc,and to slice it up into sections to be ran by the most powerful/richest people in each section as board members. I see Canada,the US,and Mexico as being The North American Economic Zone,with a board sitting in NYC. That board and others will probably be controlled out of Europe because after all,that is where the original banking families got started,and you had better believe they are involved in this. I am talking about they people who had the money and influence to set up people like Soros in international business. After all,who REALLY believes that a teenage Jewish boy from a landlocked nation that earned his living selling his fellow Jews to the Nazi's during WW-2 knew anything about cargo ships,never mind how to buy them and set up a shipping business right after WW-2 ended?
I have zero proof of this,but I STRONGLY suspect that if you were able to trace this Globalist dream back to it's origin,you would find the old banking houses of Europe. They were into globalism before most people knew we lived on a globe.

I disagree. The impeachment exposed nothing about Biden that we already didn't know. Joe Biden is simply a very poor Executive branch candidate. He's lazy, stupid, and arrogant. He has been wrong on every foreign policy position he has ever taken. He has a short temper, is not willing to listen to others, and has the charisma of a cow pie. He has zero accomplishments to boast of during a very long political career other than getting a Ukrainian prosecutor fired. And above all else, he is a creepy hair-sniffing child-groping weirdo. Anyone who thought that Joe Biden had any chance of winning the Dem nomination especially after his two previous spectacular fails shout reassess just how useless Joe Biden has been for the last four decades.

Sanders has gained quite a few votes over The Buttgigger. Looks like there's one satellite caucus still out, and a smattering of precincts.
The satellites have been kind to Sanders so I expect him to maybe tack on a bit more.

President Trump is taking a victory lap and Democrats announce they have to redo Iowa because they can't count.
Could today get any better?

I would really like to know if in the history of the U.S. if this is the first time that there has been a 'caucus' recount?
Wow. Only the DEMS can screw things up this badly. Looks like the usual fraud and corruption is occurring.

The caucus format would make outright voter fraud difficult, but sabotage intended to deny Sanders a strong launch isn't inconceivable. Maybe unnecessary though as it seems to be turning out as a virtual tie with the Buttgag.

Buttgigger and Sanders can both declare a victory in IA. Sanders got more votes, Buttgigger got more Delegates, last I saw.

Sanders failed to get the decisive victory he was expecting though, and didn't put as much distance between himself and Warren as was expected.
I always expected Biden to implode from gaffes, but it seems he's just the same shaky candidate as in his previous tries. I read where he had to pull an ad buy in SC to try to shore up NV. I think the gaffes are still inevitable but they may not matter much at this point. The debate will be interesting - coasting won't be an option this time.

It's also interesting that with all the precincts in, Sanders won the first round by just over 6.1K but only 2.6K on the second.
Looks like alot of votes shifted to The Buttgigger.
How that gives him a lead in delegates I have no clue. I don't understand the Dem secret sauce formula, and I don't think anyone else does either.

I think it's like the Electoral College. If Sanders racked up big wins in only a few counties, then he would have fewer delegates.

That's my understanding. It seems to work like the electoral college on the state level.

@Free Vulcan
Sanders has to be seriously steamed because we all know that ButtPlug got ALL the homo votes that would have normally gone to him. He would have won in a landslide if he wasn't going against a homo.
Can't wait for that old fool to blow up while standing behind a microphone on a live broadcast.
And make no mistake about it,Mayor ButtPlug is going to get ALL the "just imagine a world...../let's make history!" votes that Bathhouse Barry got in the general election if he makes it that far.

That would make sense. The bulk of Sanders support was mostly concentrated in urban and surrounding counties, Butgigger's was rural and broader, and he was second in many of the counties Sanders won.
Ironic though if that's true though, that they would be using an EC type of delegate distribution, since they are against the EC.

Oh yeah, it's rich with irony. Like spinach.

@sneakypete
Can't disagree with that. Been watching him since he rose in the Iowa polls a few months back and have been wondering if the Dems are going to go with a light resume but heavy charisma gay Obama, and hope for another miracle.

You obviously mean "ANOTHER light resume but heavy charisma Presidential candidate" because Bathhouse Barry is as queer as it gets.

@corbe
Good thing it's not from Mayor ButtPlug because it could be seen as a combination proposal and wedding gift.
