How do you audit moving humans?

jftr - They watch throughout the reporting process for inconsistencies in tallies.

He had an outstanding outcome in Iowa. Why would he dispute that. It's time to move on in the campaign. Bernie Sanders knows that, and is not going to dispute results that are already in. He has many other things he needs to do.

Or perhaps your ethics inform you somewhat differently than mine do me.

No audit is possible since there were no paper ballots. Only way to check votes is to call back voters for another caucus. For god's sake, it's only one small state's opinion. Loosen up and move on. It's going to be a long time til the convention

He came from a 30 point disadvantage to a virtual tie. I call that momentum. He simply needs to carry that momentum to the next state… and the others after that.

I agree with her assertions...

I still wonder how many first time Caucusers weren't allowed to participate due to them running out of registration forms

I wasn't sure. My feeling was that it's best to leave it alone, as he's already in a great position, and having gone through a situation with the DNC this could aggravate things.

But the gymnasiums this morning were mostly filled with elementary students who had no opinion.
