A handful of Iowans perused the Iowa Democratic Party (IDP) PDF that lists the "official" counts from every Democratic precinct. More than 1680 precincts and the reported totals are listed on this PDF.
As these Iowans examined the official IDP results, they noticed that some reported results were wrong.
These discrepancies are part of the reason that the Iowa Caucus Results are being re-examined. At first, Andy McGuire (who is a former Hillary Clinton fundraiser, co-chair of Clinton's 2008 Iowa campaign and a person who has a license plate that reads, "HRC2016" refused any examination of the results. She said the results were final.
The pressure from the Des Moines Register editorial board changed that.
So, a slow trickle of Iowans were coming forward--examining the official IDP results and finding problems.
Now, the Iowa Democratic Party has announced that they have reviewed these mistakes. They say that their review is now complete and final. Again, Andy McGuire is saying this.
I just went to the Iowa Democratic Party website. It's important to note that the PDF from the Iowa Democratic Party--is gone. The PDF that lists every Iowa precinct and the final results--was very visible on the front page of the IDP website since the day after the Iowa caucuses, Wednesday Feb 3. It was the first link on the page.
It was there two hours ago, as of today--Sunday, Feb 7. I linked to it in a DU article.
This link is now missing from the Iowa Democratic Party website.
I copied and pasted the link, so I have it. But it's no longer visible on the IDP webpage. It's hidden somewhere. Maybe it's an oversight and the link will be restored? Could it be that the Iowa Democratic Party doesn't want others researching, finding and reporting discrepancies? Without the link of the official results, reporting additional problems or mistakes will be impossible.
This is highly disturbing. Most people who attended the caucuses, probably didn't realize that they could double check the results of their precinct. The publicity surrounding the caucuses could cause more Iowans to look up their precincts and discover discrepancies.
That will be nearly impossible now, because that link has been removed.
This is a disgrace. Every new chapter of this is a disgrace for the state of Iowa--and in particular for the Iowa Democratic party that is spearheaded by a Clinton fan who continues to rig and toy with so many variables along the way.
A full and complete audit of the caucus results is the only answer.
Here is the link to the PDF. It's still an active link. However, it's not on the IDP front page, as it was 2 hours ago.

ETA: If the link does reappear on the IDP front page, could someone please post that info here in this thread? Thank you.

(2,212 posts)... it appears they made a handful of delegate count changes, which have reduced the margin of Clinton's win from 0.30% to 0.25%.
The disposition of only 5 or 6 delegates were changed.
Considering that there were some precincts where as many as 30 votes were in question due to incorrect procedures (people coming and going, required recounts not being taken), I think an accurate election result may never be known. The process was so chaotic that the final result, in my opinion, falls within the caucus procedure's margin of error.

(24,411 posts)The only reason I have the link is because I included it in a DU post earlier today.
The link was up a couple of hours ago, but is now gone.

(3,795 posts)The Bernie campaign should have several people in every single caucus in Nevada dedicated to calling in their precinct results to the Bernie campaign, and the Bernie campaign should absolutely tally the caucus results independently from the Democratic Party.
The volunteers from each caucus should provide contact phone numbers and agree to be called if discrepancies arise from the official Party.
We have to supervise our own Party. It's a fucking joke.
