Explaining the Iowa Imbroglio

Results from the Monday Democratic caucus voting in Iowa are still incomplete.

And the head of the DNC wants a total recanvass of the vote.

Seriously, tell me this surprises you.

UPDATE: State Dem-DNC squabbles and the simplest explanation.

UPDATE: Good Lord, what is wrong with these Democrats?

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, a Texas Democrat, suggested during an FBI oversight hearing on Wednesday that Russia is responsible for the vote-reporting issues from Tuesday’s Iowa caucuses.

“I hope that the Iowa Democrats will ask for an FBI investigation on the app,” the Texas Democrat told FBI Director Christopher Wray. “I believe that Russia has been engaged in and interfering with a number of our elections dealing with the 2016 election.”

The Russians actually weren't involved. Democrats--with the company run by someone who worked on the Hillary campaign!-- did it to themselves.

For the record (at the moment and subject to recanvass if the DNC gets its way), Sanders won the most votes narrowly over Buttigieg who earned one more delegate than Sanders. Warren is in third in votes and delegates. With Biden behind her, and Klobuchar after that and managing just one delegate.
