With Sanders headed to victory, Iowa Democratic Party blocks release of caucus results
{The media and non-Sanders Democratic Party candidates quickly developed a common line, citing supposed “quality control” issues in the vote that questioned its “legitimacy.” The New York Times, which earlier posted polling results that clearly showed Sanders in the lead, removed all such figures from its front page by midnight.}
{The failure to report results from the caucus raises new questions about Saturday’s decision to cancel the release of the final Iowa Poll by the Des Moines Register, allegedly because of a complaint by the Buttigieg campaign that at least one telephone survey worker did not include the name of their candidate. The poll was expected to confirm Sanders’ standing as the leading candidate, only two days before the caucuses.}
This in relation to my prior post is spelling only one thing out if you know the mechanics of a caucus. Last night the entire premise of Iowa's caucus was voided/null. It totally eliminated the process of counts to close to call or ties. You can't possibly conduct that process now! And I haven't heard NPR bring up that process once as they put spin on last night all day. That is with reason!
That as I mentioned a few days ago is when supporters break down in groups and mingle. Attempting to sway people to support their candidate. Say, if Sanders and Warren tied, people in Biden's group see, as he was losing so bad as he was, would jump to, say, Sanders or Warrens group, and so on . The count starts over to see who brought more to their group, you have to be present! Last night with the claim they couldn't get the numbers in sent that process to the shitter.
Maybe someone from Iowa can explain if that process actually happened and it just isn't being discussed?
Stating a 7% lead for Sanders which is considerably above the margin for error, he should be the winner. I will not hold my breath.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.They are giving Pete some time to be in the headlines as the tentative winner. Eventually, the full results will show Bernie winning but he will have missed most of the benefit of winning Iowa, the media bump that comes from winning the first race. The establishment will shamelessly put all obstacles in his path that they possibly can. All the more reason to fight harder.
