Either way you're talking a few delegates that don't matter in the long run.

The more we focus on this, the more ammo the GOP has in the GE.

And it'll be brought up by the GOP in the GE.

If it actually mattered, I would care.

My wife lies to me about colors because it's not worth the time to explain to me that my eyes are deceiving me.

A color blue actually being purple doesn't change anything.

I've stated before, the caucus process is so unorganized, you could recount 6 times and arrive at 6 different conclusions.

It seriously won't and does not matter.

I used the first person writing style with the word I in my sentences.

I am sorry if you feel that I was telling you how to feel, but reading my post, I do not see that.

I hope you enjoy your evening.

Winning is what counts and alleging a voter scandal in a Democratic primary and wasting time/resources on something that in the grand scheme of things does not matter, is in general, a bad idea.

If it mattered, I'd be all for it.

But the reality is, we're dealing with an unorganized caucus process that should never be used to determine anything.

You could recount it 6 times and get 6 different results.

Given all of the things coming out of Iowa over the last couple of days.

Now I certainly wouldn't say that Hillary was directly behind the... ahem... 'shenanigans' that seem to have gone on in various precincts, but simply that it seems like a few of her supporters might have decided to 'bend the rules' a bit by transposing numbers here or there, or switching in whose column a delegate got placed.

it hurts him! HRC even shocked the pundits by calling herself victorious even before the count was done. Everyone thought that strange and brazen. If there was cheating it doesn't hurt the party. It includes the party in the cheating. She was so sure she won. If he wins NH that would have been two straight wins. It hurts Bernie if he really did win.

...he'll appoint a DNC chair who will clean the rot out of the party. Corporatism is a cancer.
