Des Moines Register: Multiple precincts voted for Bernie ... but delegates went to Hillary instead

[NightHawkeye]

Iowans claim instances when Sanders was shorted delegates | Des Moines Register

Keane Schwarz is certain he knows the outcome of the vote in his precinct: He was the lone caucusgoer in Woodbury County No. 43.

But the Iowa Democratic Party's final results state that Hillary Clinton won one county delegate and Bernie Sanders received zero.

"I voted for Bernie," Schwarz, 36, of Oto, told The Des Moines Register.
...
A total of 110 people were present for the final vote, and the count was 58 people for Sanders and 52 people for Clinton — which amounted to five county delegates for Sanders and four for Clinton, said Lonnie McCombs, a 59-year-old Knoxville Democrat who is retired from careers in the military and in manufacturing.

“That’s how it was recorded,” said McCombs, a Sanders backer.

But when the Knoxville Journal Express newspaper posted the Democratic Party’s official results, it showed Knoxville No. 3 results as Clinton with five county delegates and Sanders with four.​

What a surprise.

If true then this is just another reason why Hillery should be out of the race and frankly behind bars.

There has been an analysis. If every instance of fraud went in the favor of Sanders, he would still not beat Clinton in delegates.

But is a reflection of the whole process. It does not speak well of the Democratic party. (And if the Republicans weren't upto similar shenanigans I would be truly shocked)

There were clearly problems in both parties.

When one of the commentators was asked to comment on some of the problems, he simply said that he was from Chicago. This nonsense is especially likely to happen in caucuses where only the most extreme from either party are caucusing.

You don't know that. Not nearly enough information or evidence has been made available for anyone to know that.

Funny you would make such a claim about 0.1% of the Democrat votes when you've claimed exactly the opposite in regard to Cruz's victory which was somewhere between 10 and 100 times greater.

I'm not going to repost what folks in Iowa have seen for 2 days. There are only a certain number of votes at issue.

The OP is about today's Des Moines Register ... and new claims. As this story unfolds it looks progressively uglier.

In any case, why would you deny Bernie delegates which are rightfully his?

fair enough

The Register will get to the bottom of this. The Democratic Party of Iowa clearly has major problems.
