Daily Mail: BREAKING NEWS: Democrats will publish HALF of the Iowa caucus results by 5pm - but crisis could last for weeks leaving state with NO official winner
* Pete Buttigieg, the former South Bend mayor, declared himself victor of the Iowa caucus even though there are no official results
* He said Tuesday in New Hampshire his performance had been 'phenomenal'
* Elizabeth Warren said she feels 'good' but results are still too close
* Amy Klobuchar said she did 'incredibly well'
* 'We don't know all of the results. But we do know that by the time it's all said and done, Iowa: you have shocked the nation,' Because by all indications we are going on to New Hampshire victorious,' Buttigieg said in Iowa Monday
* But the entire Democratic field have no idea of official results after the Iowa Democratic Party's reporting app crashed and its backup phone system did too
* Joe Biden rolled out endorsement of Caroline Kennedy, JFK's daughter
* Buttigieg's daring move came as party issued panicked statement saying it had not been hacked but results had 'inconsistencies' and paper ballots will be used
Democratic Party officials said they plan to release a majority of Iowa's delayed presidential caucus results by late Tuesday, according to details shared with campaigns on a private conference call.
The news did little to stem rising confusion and concern hours after voting ended without the release of a single result in the opening contest of the Democrats 2020 primary season.
State party chairman Troy Price informed campaigns that he would release at least 50% of all caucus results at 4pm CST / 5 pm EST, but he declined to answer pointed questions from frustrated campaign representatives about when the party would release the full results or how it could ensure their integrity - even whether it would be a matter of days or weeks.
'We will continue to work through the process,' Price said on the call, which was monitored by The Associated Press. 'We want to get some results out there.'

WNU Editor: No final poll published before the caucuses because one person complained that their candidate was not on the questionnaire. The app that was to be used to tally the results fails at the critical time that it is needed. Then the precinct captains cannot call in the results because the phone lines are jammed?!?!?! And now we are being told that only 50% of the results will be released, with the full results being released in a few days/weeks?!?!?! This is a total disaster.
Update: You know he is laughing at them .... Trump revels in Democrats' Iowa 'voting disaster' (Politico).
Update #2: I do not think he is disappointed. I think he is furious .... Bernie Sanders is 'extremely disappointed' Iowa Democratic Party hasn't released caucus results (Des Moines Register).
Update #3: They are blaming this mess on bad code for their app. I am not buying that excuse. I have worked with developers in putting apps online, and there are steps that you must go through to make sure they do not crash before they are put online. If this was ignored .... well then .... the Democrat Party in Iowa must have hired the most incompetent firm in the world to do their work.
Update #4: Yup! They did hire the world's most incompetent firm .... DHS head claims Iowa Democrats refused to let department test failed caucus app (Washington Examiner).
Update #5: How can a phone system collapse?!?!?! That is another excuse that is being offered on why the precinct captains could not phone in their results.
Update #6: My gut is telling me that this is true .... Sanders Campaign’s Internal Caucus Numbers Show Them Leading Iowa, With Biden a Distant Fourth (Intercept).

ReplyDeleteDNC would not let the FBI examine their "hacked' server. Maybe their server was not hacked by the Russians and maybe the Seth Rich murder would have drawn more scrutiny.
This cabal is dangerous.
If I were the Russians, I would be very afraid.
Is Rush dead yet?
ReplyDeleteAs a foreigner it looks to me that the Democratic party appears to be very corrupt & will destroy the votes of democratic supporters who vote for any candidate other that the establishments choice. Even in 2019 they are trying to overthrow the results of the 2016 presidential election. They are out of control. If they destroyed democracy then the only answer will be violence & anarchy. I'd suggest Trump avoids driving past grassy knolls & purchase a bullet proof toupee 🖖😎
ReplyDeleteRush or no Rush, it is too late for you. Rush has helped launch or further the careers of many talk show hosts.

I would like to see Walter Williams guest host again, but I kind of doubt it would happen. IMO he is was as good as Rush. He's lost some of his fire, but he was good.
There is a whole constellation of major league conservative talk show hosts out there. Single A looks pretty good too. Thee is a deep bench.
The whole thing is reaching Mugabe/Zimbabwe levels of banana republic shitassery. First it was the spiking of the Des Moines Register poll for results adverse to the DNC kleptocracy. Now the "coding problem" with a Hillary Clinton associated tech firm when Sanders was the obviously the clear winner. The Biden Crime Family coming in fourth. It is an insult to our intelligence. I'm frankly laughing my ass off at these pathetic people. They are busily digging a hole they won't crawl out of.
ReplyDeleteI will love viewing the SOTU tonight. Trump is a better man then me. I'd be merrily mashing the Democrat's faces deep into the pile of excrement they've made of their primary (again). It'll have to suffice to watch Pelosi clacking her dentures over his left shoulder.
It couldn't have happened to a more deserving pack of progressive assholes. As Biden told the coal minors:

Russ hardly in a position to call anyone or anthing incompetent

ReplyDelete- Democrats want new voters
- The RC was butts in the pews.
- Many companies many cheap labor.
- VOLAGS are doing well ($$$) by doing 'good'. They want that government cheese. If they stop importing people, they are out of a job.

So either they implemented a new system apparently without running some user acceptance testing to ensure it worked properly before implementation, or, they didn't like the results because someone, likely Biden, came up short and they are now in disaster mode trying to find a "fix" for the so called problem.
ReplyDeleteYour worst nightmare Bob. This will lead to a conservative government in Montreal.
ReplyDeleteTrump is going to get re-elected and he is going to remember Mr. Fancy Pants, Prime Minister Blackface.
