Conspiracy theories abound to explain the Democratic Iowa caucuses cluster-foul-up, from the machinations of Donald Trump and Vladmimir Putin, to rank incompetence, and beyond. Bill Whittle dubs it beclown-a-palooza.

You guys had way too much fun with this one.
Some democrats are so angry they have handed copies of the app over to a dozen software people, including conservative ones, for examination. Its got code in there that looks at targets for Biden and Bernie but hides very well what it does then! It was not checking all candidates and does not seem to be bumping up vote for anyone by name. It created more votes for people than there were voters in the building. It looks like the app checked if Biden was behind Bernie and bumped up second place. Assuming Biden was in first place. It did not check if someone else was in first place nor did it consider the possibility the Bernie was in second place. It seems the programmer never considered the possibility the Biden could be in 3rd or 4th.
As a consequence of the back doors in the code, url’s for the software engineers own web sites in the code, they could not send it to anyone for testing. It would have failed.
Cnet is trying to cover a little for the DNC but this is very useful.

So much fail!
All the proof we need. Russian meddling in our elections again! I think this need a full house investigation for the next 8 months or so.
lol yep they will try any excuse.
Check out how many people voted in the Iowa caucus. Is this right? It took four days to count less than 2,000 votes electronically? Also, why aren’t the delegates assigned proportionally to the percentage of votes received, or is that too democratic for a Democrat?
AP
99% reporting
Votes displayed are State Delegate Equivalents, which represent the number of state convention delegates that determine how many pledged delegates each candidate will receive
Pete Buttigieg 26.2% 564 votes 11 delegates
Bernie Sanders 26.1% 562 votes 11 delegates
Elizabeth Warren 18% 387 votes 5 delegates
Joe Biden 15.8% 341 votes 2 delegates
At one point they had 80% reporting with a 120% total summing all candidates. lol.
Three days later and I am still laughing!
I was listening to the Podcast in the car and just about drove off the road laughing when I heard Steve’s intro. I haven’t laughed that hard since Hillary lost.
Bravo!
They wrote the code using Common Core math.
Bam! the first conclusion that came to my mind. Chuckle, chuckle…
Having worked in entertainment in LA for 25yrs (and I think Bill’ll back me up on this, I watched for a quarter century people failing upwards. I’m unsurprised it happens in other high profile, prestigious industries.
Outsourced to “Shadow” who is funded by “Acronym” and you end up with “KAOS”, wonder if the writers of the old show “Get Smart” had anything to do with this?
Those writers were competent. Unlike the the people that wrote the “Get Smart” movie a few years ago. Or the people running the DNC.
I would have had more confidence in letting Laramie count the votes
Why didn’t they just use the “FUBAR” app.., and get it over, for good..?
