Democrats rigging Iowa results

Post by Matt » Mon Feb 03, 2020 11:21 pm

It seems like the Democrats are trying to stop Bernie in the first state. There's really no other plausible explanation. If you believe the official explanation of the reporting delay, you are a fucking moron.

Maybe it's Putin just dialing things in for November

This is getting more embarrassing by the minute. Now Biden is requesting that results not be publicly released until his campaign people are able to review the results.

I won't go as far as to speculate that there's shenanigans, but this is funny to watch.

It sounds like they are using an app to report the results which I assume is a new thing and it’s having issues receiving the data and precincts were having issues sending data through that app. That said there ARE legitimate security concerns in using an app. We keep proving that elections and the internet shouldn’t mix and that goes for the easily hackable voting machines as well. Election security is a major concern going forward and nobody seems to care. Sad.

I like how Buttigieg is giving a victory speech... that’s actually rather clever... he had better hope he did decently.

Impeachment fail.
App fail.
Caucus fail.

Democrat party is 3 for 3 yesterday and these folks think they can run a country?

Incredibly embarrassing for the Democrats. Supposedly, there is a full paper trail of the results and a manual count can be undertaken.

Caucuses are stupid. Why can't Iowa just have a primary like nearly all other states?

Matt, if Joe Biden is the "winner," only then will I suspect underhandedness.

The identity of the company who developed the app 100 percent needs to be disclosed!!!

If we are to believe the entrance polls, Biden potentially had a very bad night. Old geezers is the only group where Biden showed some strength.

Buttigieg potentially had a great night, Sanders did well, and Warren was "meh."

Bloomberg isn't even on the radar, but he really didn't put forth any effort in Iowa.

They aren't even trying to hide the "underhandedness" in this case. It is in broad daylight!

It's called Shadow, and here is their team! https://twitter.com/taraemcg/status/1086069110704824320

Edit: That team ABSOLUTELY has to list their pronouns in their email signatures.

I can't help but LOL at how the stock market always rallies when there's bad news for Democrats. It is soaring in the pre-market today

If reading the comments section of various articles and youtube videos is any indication, it does appear that there are A LOT of Bernie fans who think this is one big conspiracy against him. He led in the most recent polls and was robbed of a possible victory speech last night. While this may not be intentional on the part of the party itself, the optics are sure bad.

His supporters tend to be whinier than most as well. It sounds like plain old technology issues to me. They tried to use an app that wasn’t ready for prime time and it became overloaded. I saw Rick Santorum on CNN and he was pointing out that in 2012 he won the caucuses by 34 votes (!) but that was settled 2 weeks after the fact and originally somebody else (Romney?) had been declared the winner by 7 votes. So it’s not just Democrats who have had issues with the Caucus system and that’s without any apps. I think the caucuses simply need to be put out of their misery.
