Iowa Democratic Caucus Results Updated After IDP Completes Review
Josh Levitt February 7th, 2016 Posted In: News, Press Release
Des MoinesOver the past week, to ensure the accuracy of our results the Iowa Democratic Party worked with the Sanders campaign, the Clinton campaign and local party leadership to review results from 14 precinct caucuses.
These follow-up reviews were in addition to the work we did on caucus night, where we worked with the campaign representatives in our tabulation room and our precinct and county chairs to resolve any issues that arose from the 1,681 Democratic precincts.
We reviewed the 14 precincts on a case-by-case basis, and in each instance reached out to our precinct and county chairs on the ground for a full accounting of the results. Nine of the 14 precincts were confirmed to be correct as reported on caucus night, while five instances of reporting errors were found:
Marion County, Knoxville 3 Precinct:
Reported As: 5 county convention delegates for Clinton, 4 county convention delegates for Sanders
Confirmed As: 4 county convention delegates for Clinton, 5 county convention delegates for Sanders

Woodbury County, 43 Oto/Oto Township Precinct:

We vote, we expect the results to be correct, and if they seem not to be...whether it makes a difference or not is Totally Irrelevant.

(108,980 posts)This is a system where, in the same district, one delegate might represent 10 people, or might represent 30 people. And a delegate in another district could represent 50 people.
And where many voters are excluded because they would need to vote absentee.
Unfairness is built into the caucus system.

PS. We don't disagree so I don't even get the rebuttal.
