2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumA final tally of actual votes (if no errors in reports or math) Hillary (+274): H-69,726; B-69,452
274 more people voted for Hillary Clinton than Bernie Sanders, out of a total of 171,109 voting.
Those totals arrived at by adding the numbers found here: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/elections/2016/primary-caucus-results/iowa
It doesn't get much tighter than that. Hillary did eke out a win, but it is a far, far cry from the 30 points she was up just a couple months ago.On to New Hampshire.

The Democratic Party doesn't usually release actual vote totals for the Iowa Caucuses. I think Bernie's campaign is actively petitioning for them.
