2020 US General Election Thread IV: The Battle Begins

[Nobel Hobos 2]

On updated figures I have Biden picking up one, instead of Sanders. Buttigieg gets the other "rounding" delegate.

But wait for the official estimate of Delegates if me being wrong bothers you a lot:

Buttigieg 550.339----------13
Sanders 546.912-----------12
Warren 381.258-------------8
Biden 331.351--------------8

EDIT: Another thing, is don't hang out too badly. "National Convention Delegates will not be published until all precincts and satellite sites have reported."

Satellite sites include some not in the USA … it could take days yet.

A 1 delegate difference. RIGGED I TELL YOU, RIGGED!

Sanders nearly has equality, and unlike popular vote equality in SDE's means equality in Delegates.
Equality won't be good enough though, RIGGED!

Are satellite results in yet? If not, it is very likely that Sanders wins.

You think those who work overseas (inc. military) and those who travel overseas would lean Sanders?
I'm dubious.

Doubt they're all military.

I know he won in Glasgow and Tbilisi and a late-shift meat-packers caucus and in a couple mosques. I know Klobuchar won in Florida and Warren won in Paris.

IIRC the answer for the military is yes but i forgot where i heard it.

[Nobel Hobos 2]

Let's be clear counties don't matter. Unless you're actually a county delegate you don't have to know the result in any of Iowa's counties.

But. There is a Pocahontas County.
There's even a Warren County.

He leads in donations from current military members if that's what you're thinking of?

Update: There is one satellite caucus imaginary district left out of four. Sanders won the first three by wide margins, netting twelve delegates in CD3 and 8 out of 2 and 4. CD1 has 0% reporting. Sanders beat Clinton 80 to 19 in CD1 last time.

It is interesting that our institutions have fucked things so hard the last several years that any irregularity is met with instant suspicion of nefarious intent.

They’ve thoroughly deconstructed any trust they had to the point they’re considered malevolent by default.

Oops.

We shouldn't trust them by default, especially not after seeing them try to tamper with the results of the Iowa Caucus right before our very own eyes.

I'm hyped as fuck that we might very well be seeing the will of the workers triumph over the schemes of the political and economic elites despite that though.

Looks like the satellite caucuses are going to decide the outcome, and yes they do lean Sanders for the most part

The vast majority of Democrats abroad went to Sanders, excluding I think, a handful of Latin American countries I think. I need to try and find where I saw that.

What is Klobuchar doing in the list? That's confusing me. TGP thinks she's back in

nope, cat on keyboard error

It is possible that the delegate Sanders and Buttigieg are fighting over actually goes to someone else. Warren being the most likely.
That opens the possibility of Sanders and Buttigieg equal after all, but on 12 instead of 13.
I'm loving this!

[Cisairse]

Why are people acting like Iowa is game set match?

Before Monday, there were a number of scenarios in which it would have been.

I just got off the phone with the DNC, apparently I won the Iowa caucus by a unanimous vote

-Jeb!

Oops.

I mean, until relatively recently "irregularity" was synonymous with "interference" because until very recently we had voting systems that worked.

I just want Bloomberg to get 1 delegate so we see him in the debate on Friday. I already have a guestlist for my viewing party and I want to justify how much wine I'm buying.

Maybe you should have scheduled after NH, cos there's no way he's getting a delegate here. Total dud.

If the other candidates all asked for it, I think the DNC probably would change the debate rule again.

The change so you qualify if you have one DNC delegate was more or less specifically so Bloomberg and Yang could attend. Unfortunately, that didn't work out for either candidate (although Yang qualified under the original rules eventually anyway).

[Kruiven]

97% in and IDP says no new results coming out tonight, LOL.

[Cisairse]

You know if I believed in the competence of mid-level bureaucrats, the fact that they basically declared Pete the winner on Tuesday and have drawn out as many numbers as possible before *gasp* revealing at the end that whoops looks like Bernie was the real winner the whole time would definitely make me believe they rigged this on purpose when they realized Pete wasn't going to win.

Hey they need to sleep, so they'll be up for another day of making paper aeroplanes and trying to come up with new nicknames for Klobuchar.

Since other candidates have expressed their eagerness to rip Bloomberg a new asshole, why would he want to be there?

It's the old boy who cried wolf. When you gain a reputation for lying, you can't blame people for assuming that you're lying even when you're telling the truth.
