Washington state and Nebraska each had caucuses as well as (non-binding) primaries. He won the caucuses and lost the primaries in both states.

Anyway, I’m loving this because I’m already cynical about the election and this guarantees a spicy news day that will make work go by fast which is nice because I failed to sleep last night

Between the impeachment, the state of the union, and now this I'm honestly just tired of the drama.

I wonder if the DNC even bothered to fix their cybersecurity after 2016. They clearly aren’t taking this election seriously. They probably think complaining about the Russians publicly was all they needed to do and they’re all good now.

Only Iowa, Nevada and American Samoa still use caucuses as of this cycle. Iowa's may be dead after this and 2012.

That said, the caucus itself process didn't cause this. (Not even the Democrats viability standards.) A brand new reporting system with known problems that shockingly failed did. The Republicans did their caucus just fine in 2016 and this year. They didn't make anyone do any math. Just count the written "straw poll" ballots and do the county convention delegate selection.

Fuck caucuses. They're a symbol of privilege and disenfranchisement.

With that said, it sounds like some developers built an app from a list of targets given to them by stakeholders and assumed that it worked just fine and never bothered to test it with real people who aren't developers.

This is why user experience is sometimes a good thing.

If the results are accurate does it really matter of they are incomplete? Isn't results being incrementally updated as they come in how pretty much standard in election vote reporting?

Can't imagine what legal argument Biden's team is "mulling over".

our internal results sent to us by precinct captains around the state indicate that with close to 60% of the vote in, we have a comfortable lead. Our numbers also show Pete Buttigieg is currently in second, followed by Elizabeth Warren, then Amy Klobuchar and Joe Biden.

I haven't paid attention to Biden this year, but it's weird how people forget how bad he is at running for president.

I remember in 2008 he still seemed to be advocating a 3 state solution in Iraq even though it was a sovereign state at the time. Nobody seemed to call out how crazy that was.

Bernie is going to get a bigger bump from this than he would have otherwise, but it's also going to divide the field and make a disastrous convention more likely.

If there is a brokered convention and unless the person with most votes wins the nomination easily or Warren manages to be a miracle uniter the GOP will have the biggest political victory since 1964. Everyone needs panic.
