2020 Iowa Caucus: Democrat Failure
In a call with the campaigns earlier this evening, the Iowa Democratic Party struggled to explain why Iowa caucus results have not been released. -Washington Post Staff Writers
For Iowa Democrats, the night of February 3, 2020 will forever rank among the greatest disappointments, frustrations, and purely enraging humiliations of their lives. As of 6:35 a.m. Eastern this morning, the Iowa Democratic Party simply . . . cannot tabulate the votes!
The delay is baffling, as anyone should be able to do this with a spreadsheet program or even a sheet of paper.

It wasn’t so much that the new app that the Iowa Democratic Party had planned to use to report its caucus results didn’t work.
It was that people were struggling to even log in or download it in the first place. After all, there had never been any app-specific training for the many precinct chairs.

Troy Price, the chairman of the Iowa Democratic Party, said shortly after 1 a.m. that he expected to have caucus results to report “later today” after party officials had manually tallied the data...

After all of its struggles to release proper results from the Iowa Democratic caucuses Monday night, on Wednesday afternoon, the party released some mistaken results.
"There will be a minor correction to the last batch of results and we will be pushing an update momentarily," the Iowa Democratic Party said in a tweet, after it had released 85% of the long-awaited results. Party officials did not say exactly what they would need to correct.
About 45 minutes after the tally reached 85%, the party tweeted that it had corrected the results and released some new ones.

The app that was supposed to help the Iowa Democratic Party quickly report Monday's caucus results – but contributed to confusion and a muddled result as campaigns were in an uproar – is linked to Hillary Clinton campaign veterans.
Shadow, a tech firm that describes itself as a group that creates "a permanent advantage for progressive campaigns and causes through technology," is the company that created the Iowa Democratic Party's app, according to The New York Times. At least the COO, CEO, CTO and a senior product manager at Shadow all worked for the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, according to LinkedIn profiles.

Remember the 5 Billion Dollar Obamacare Website, that should have cost 2% of that. The only person that can claim a very big victory in Iowa last night is ‘Trump’"

The Associated Press said Thursday that it is unable to declare a winner of Iowa’s Democratic caucuses.
However, there is evidence the party has not accurately tabulated some of its results, including those released late Thursday that the party reported as complete. The AP’s tabulation of the party’s results are at 99% of precincts reporting, with data missing from one of 1,765 precincts, among other issues.

The Iowa Democrat Caucus:
Three Years In The Making
If this is what they're capable of accomplishing in three years, just think of what they could get done with six.
Because of the predictive nature of the Iowa caucuses when it comes to the Democratic nomination, Monday night's Iowa caucus fiasco will have a significant impact on the rest of the race, and a particularly negative one for Bernie Sanders, according to analysis from Nate Silver at FiveThirtyEight.

After a vote in Iowa that reeked of third-world treachery — from monolithic TV propaganda against the challenger to rumors of foreign intrusion to, finally, a “botched” vote count that felt as legitimate as a Supreme Soviet election — the Democrats have become the reactionaries they once replaced.
Coinciding with the flatulent end of the party’s impeachment gambit, and the related news that Donald Trump is enjoying climbing approval ratings, the Blue Party was exposed as an incompetent lobby for doomed elites, dumb crooks with nothing left to offer but their exit.
