No Joke,the numbers for Grinnell in Iowa appear to be wrong (links to videos of caucus night, tweets

This is from reddit

I'm not sure why this was taken down earlier, but someone mentioned incorrect delegate results being recorded in Grinnell. I went to twitter / youtube for some evidence --- and sure enough.

The official precinct breakdowns claim that in Grinnell (Poweshiek county, 1), Bernie came away with 18 delegates to Clinton's 8. Search the PDF for Poweshiek, under 1st WARD.

But results both tweeted, and recorded by video record the delegate breakdown as having been Bernie 19, and Clinton 7.

Video from the night (result at 3:02)

On top of all that, DMR is now calling for an audit of the actual vote:

EDIT (more evidence):

Another tweet (linked to on SFP):

A post on SFP claiming the 19-7 result was posted, then taken down from official idpcaucuses website

How sad that the Iowa Democratic Party is not interested in even trying to clear up any possible doubts about what actually happened that night. I hate being forced to feel this cynical, but there is little choice left.
