Official 2020 Iowa Caucus Thread

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

It’s so obvious Bernie

DNC is trying to delay the announcement as long as possible to make people care less about the results .

doesn't matter. he didn't "blow it out" like expected so he can't act like he really ran off with it.

Amy and Pete racked up serious digits.

 

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

I've already prepared myself mentally for this shytshow in November...I suggest you do too fam

2016 was a wake up call for me. I hope that in my 40's this country gets better, because the remainder of my 30's will be spent with a corrupt, racist, inept President at the helm, and a feckless ineffective Democratic Party spinning in circles.

Slowly starting to accept this too.....I don't know how such an inept person like Trump can make someone going against look just as bad if not worse.

Its like Trump has thrown Democrats off and they have no idea what to do or we are just in complete disarray.

Spoiler: Statement from. Idp

The full statement by Iowa Democratic Party Chair Troy Price can be read below.

Last night, more than 1,600 precinct caucuses gathered across the state of Iowa and at satellite caucuses around the world to demonstrate our shared values and goal of taking back the White House. The many volunteers running caucus sites, new voters registering as Democrats, and neighbors talking to each other about the future of our country demonstrated the strength of our party.

We have every indication that our systems were secure and there was not a cyber security intrusion. In preparation for the caucuses, our systems were tested by independent cybersecurity consultants.

As precinct caucus results started coming in, the IDP ran them through an accuracy and quality check. It became clear that there were inconsistencies with the reports. The underlying cause of these inconsistencies was not immediately clear, and required investigation, which took time.

As this investigation unfolded, IDP staff activated pre-planned backup measures and entered data manually. This took longer than expected.

As part of our investigation, we determined with certainty that the underlying data collected via the app was sound. While the app was recording data accurately, it was reporting out only partial data. We have determined that this was due to a coding issue in the reporting system. This issue was identified and fixed. The application’s reporting issue did not impact the ability of precinct chairs to report data accurately.

Because of the required paper documentation, we have been able to verify that the data recorded in the app and used to calculate State Delegate Equivalents is valid and accurate. Precinct level results are still being reported to the IDP. While our plan is to release results as soon as possible today, our ultimate goal is to ensure that the integrity and accuracy of the process continues to be upheld.

JESUS CHRIST MAN, WHY ISN'T THIS FRONT AND CENTER IN THE MEDIA AND NEWS REPORTS???!!!

@FAH1223 @tru_m.a.c

Any official word on what happened with this app?

It doesn't take a day to recount votes.

So are the votes lost?

Was the application hacked?

Does the DNC have a Twitter handle? Have they put anything out there?

I can't fathom how any professional outfit can go this long without a statement, so I assume I missed it.

like either one of those bernie suckers know.

they don't know jack shyt

It should be, but that doesn't get views clicks and sell ads.

2 points to be made here in regards to the DNC and the App:

1. The app was not working when it was first given to the precincts and no one, including the DNC ensured that the staff running the precincts were trained on the app. That is a failure of whoever procured the app, the app developer AND the DNC who was aware of the issue.

2. The Dem chairman in the biggest IA county bushed the app immediately upon his precinct having issues with it upon delivery and decided to phone in results per normal practice. The issue with this, no party leaders were available for them to relay the results to. That is a failure on both IA Democratic party and DNC.

Procedure and process is a top-down responsibility in many organizations. As has been stated in here already, with us living in a time where outside election interference is not only a real threat but a past reality, you would think the top of the organization would take some responsibility in the process that yields results they will ultimately deliberate on.

Yes, its a failure on multiple ends but if this was a fortune 500 corporation, we would immediately view this as a failure in management and potentially at the executive level.

This delay only helps Biden

 

[storyteller]

i may be in the minority.. but im really wanting to vote for her

The Warren G's rep hard around here. She's my number two behind Bernie, but I would like nothing more than for the race to wind up being between the two of them. Their messages are a one-two punch for me. Bernie hits the ideal and Warren makes it sound practical. I prefer Bernie's platform, but I have no doubt that Warren would be the best president of my lifetime so far should she win.

ahhahahahahha

look at the last three Democrat winners of Iowa. Did they or did they not end up being the Democratic nominee? I'll wait for your reply.

 

[saturn7]

Sam has been saying this for a while about the DNC's love of the worthless "consulting class".

 

[OJ Simpsom]

DNC was not prepared. Plain and simple. Just like they won't be prepared to take on Trump in the months ahead. Obama looking at the Dem party today likeYa'll did this to yourselves.

 

[Joe Sixpack]

I don't know...I feel like the smart choices are Bernie, Biden and Warren

Klobuchar....Yang...Booker...Steyer...all these people have ZERO chance of winning the presidency. Half the country doesn't even know who the fukk these people are and all they're doing is muddying up the waters and tearing down other candidates who actually have a chance of winning

Bernie Biden and Warren are the only legitimate choices...

These other candidates have no traction whatsoever..

I’m scared of Warren and Bernie being too far left for these dumb ass toothless hayseeds who vote against themselves

 

[Baka's Weird Case]

please god

no more caucuses next time

just vote like a normal election
