Chaos Continues in Iowa as Democrats Mistakenly Award Delegates for Bernie Sanders to Deval Patrick

Results from Monday’s Iowa caucuses continue to trickle in, with 97% of precincts reporting as of Thursday morning. Senator Bernie Sanders and former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg are now in a virtual tie. Sanders maintains a lead in the popular vote, but Buttigieg has a slight advantage in what’s known as the “state delegate equivalent” race. Buttigieg has 26.2% of state delegate equivalents, while Sanders is at 26.1%. The New York Times is now predicting Sanders has a greater chance of winning overall, in part because of the Vermont senator’s overwhelming strength in satellite caucuses. Responding to widespread criticism for the inexplicably slow reporting process, Democratic officials have attributed the chaos in Iowa to a newly created app built by a little-known firm called Shadow, which has financial ties to the Democratic establishment as well as the Buttigieg campaign. For more, we speak with Chris Schwartz, chair of the Black Hawk County Board of Supervisors in Iowa and state co-chair for Bernie 2020.

This dude probably saved the day by tweeting his results. Without his quick thinking the IDP would have screwed Bernie even more.

Bernie's votes going to Patrick wasn't a mistake, it was designed. You're being too generous, Amy.

You would think that all the numerous errors popping up would be evenly distributed among all the candidates, yet they all seem to support the establishment candidates....hmmm

Guys, please donate to Chris Schwartz's campaign! He stated on twitter that the Iowa Democrats may no longer support his campaign for telling the truth about voting discrepancies. He is risking it all for the greater good.
