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.

(22,913 posts)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.
