Count missing from 90 Iowa precints!

[left-of-center2012]

DES MOINES, Iowa — The Iowa Democratic Party informed the campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernard Sanders late Monday night that it has no results for 90 precincts across the state, which could account for as much as 5 percent of the total vote. And the party has asked the campaigns for help in getting a tally for those missing results.

“We are, right now, calling all our precinct captains on precincts where we have knowledge of what’s missing, to report what we think happened there,” a visibly irate Robert Becker, Sanders’ state director told Roll Call.

Attempts to reach the Clinton campaign early Tuesday were unsuccessful.

1. There's another very telling bit from

the Des Moines register about this:

"The Sanders campaign was calling temporary caucus chairs to track down results as well as checking with campaign volunteers early Tuesday.

A representative of Clinton's campaign said early Tuesday that the campaign was not involved in tracking down temporary caucus chairs."




Lol.

4. Iowa Dems push back on Sanders claim of lost votes

These claims are wrong http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/267845-iowa-dems-push-back-on-sanders-claim-of-lost-votes

The Iowa Democratic Party is denying accusations from Bernie Sanders's campaign that it failed to staff scores of caucus sites as he and Hillary Clinton remained locked in a too-close-to-call contest that spilled over into early Tuesday morning.

A Sanders aide told The Hill that the party did not send impartial staffers to 90 caucus sites and is now reaching out to candidates for help reporting the data. That would mean that precinct captains from the rival campaigns will have to self-report totals from the caucus, which could lead to arguments over a swath of precincts could more than make up the margin between the two candidates.

But an Iowa Democratic Party official pushed back against the claims, telling The Hill that "the reports of precincts without chairs are inaccurate."


"We have reached out to the campaigns for help in contacting the chairs for our outstanding precincts," the official said in a statement.
"We are not taking results from the campaigns. We are taking them from the chairs who are in these precincts."
