    Last I heard, Trump won 97% of those who showed up at Republican sites.

    And many of those sites were overflowing with many showing up who had voted Democrat four years ago.

    Schiff convinced Pelosi and the DNC to go after taking the Senate. He pretty much knows Trump is stronger than they can handle in a fair election. Bernie and Bloomberg are going to splinter their party. But if they can get a majority in the senate and still keep the house, it will cripple Trump.

    Nope... The Crowdstrike server that Trump asked for is sitting in a forensic lab within the Fort Gordon complex.

    They must have used Hillary's server again.

    I think most of them except Bernie. He's the one who insisted they change the rules the IDC caucused under for too long. The programming for instantly trying to count votes from out of the country is what I think screwed up their home brewed programming.

    Trump worked his tail off to end up with 53 Republican Senators after the 2018 election.

    The vote on Wednesday may very well screw over Doug Jones, Tina Smith, Jeanne Shaheen and Tom Udall.

    Based on coat tail permutations, the Dems have less than a 17.5% chance of taking the Senate.

    Personally, I think the Republicans will pick up a seat or two.

    I agree so far as what I have seen to date. We will keep the Senate but probably won't gain enough in the House.

    Yeah, it was the Young failed mayor. Biden announced he would get his fair share of delegates. Iowa isn't winner take all. I think Biden should have looked at early polls. I think he's not going to be feeling good about final Iowa results or NH.

    The company that created this "app" to ensure clean election results is top-heavy with executives that were all documented Clinton supporters. I will let you figure it out.

    "For its caucuses later this month, the Nevada Democratic Party (NDP) is planning to use an app similar to the one that contributed to the issues reporting the results of the Iowa caucuses on Monday night — and it has paid almost $60,000 to the same company that developed the Iowa app.

    Shadow Inc., 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. The NDP is also planning to use an app to report the results of its caucuses and paid Shadow $58,000 in August."

    Don't count out the voters who are so disgusted with the Democrats, that they pull the straight Party ticket lever and vote all Republicans

    You missed the point, I didn't suggest that. I suggested that a smart one would be able to devise a way to turn even the fiasco to their own benefit, not stand there and let it fall on them.
    It would have nothing to do with the vote counting. It might for example, be a public recognition that the process was being botched, so that the image of the person would show the perception, the ability to recognize it. That makes such a person look more competent that those who just stand there.
    Not saying that is the right on only option for a thinking candidate- saying that doing nothing in the wrong option.
    Even mistakes offer ways to demonstrate qualities, to gain people's confidence.

    How much do you buy?

    Pelosi's 3 week delay in sending the Impeachment Articles to the Senate had nothing to do with tanking Bernie for Biden's benefit?

    There was an error in the last poll before the caucus that had Biden in 4th place so results had to be stuffed?

    The 20 year old technology, developed by the Shadow, Inc., Clinton brand of Progressive cultists, used for addition broke?

    Democrats couldn't untie their shoes in order to count the average of 20 people standing in a given candidate's corner?

    Once they got their shoes off and assembled their tallies, the phone system failed?

    If you want to understand what elections were like in the USSR, Fidel's Cuba, or Mao's China, watch the Democrats meddle in their own elections.

    Like in the USSR, Cuba, China, etc, the Democrats only seek the illusion of Democracy when they have the power to do so.

    A good sign Americans are waking up to neo-communist and what they bring.

    Although results from the Iowa Democratic caucuses has not yet been released due to what looks like a screw up I'm wondering if Hillary and the dems will blame the Russians. Surely Putin and Trump caused this.

    Trump bankrupted companies. I don't think he should be running the country.

    Not surprisingly, this thread, which I started in a fairly non-partisan way, by being able to criticize my side, turns into a conspiracy theory and Trump meme fest.

    Me, I go with the hypothesis that the software crashed, unless proven otherwise: Occam's Razor Principle.

    None of that, however, has anything to do with the premise of the thread, namely that Iowa gets first dibs every four year, and the inherent disenfranchising of other voters that results from this system. It is the system that needs to be revised, not the imperfect people running it.
