Has anyone seen or heard of this? I'm puzzled by it, not certain of the source, but am curious what this
is about, or if there's any basis for the claim that the coin-toss rule in IA give the delegate to the "looser"
not the "winner" of the toss?
According to news outlets, and caucus reporters 6 delegates were given to Clinton because she won a coin toss, however the ruling states that the coin determines not the winner, but the loser of the delegate. Since Clinton won the toss, that means she lost the delegates, and they must go to Bernie instead, meaning he actually is the winner 698-690.
Please share, tweet, and get this message out, so that we can be certain who won the Caucus, and who lost.

UPDATE: heres a source I found, though does appear different from the image on twitter, but in rule 26 it does have the same language.. http://www.isea.org/assets/document/IA/2016-1-7%20ISEA%20Caucus%20Kit%201.6.2016.pdf

(4,753 posts)What about:
the special Iowa commemorative coins supplied by the Iowa Democratic party used in all of the coin tosses?
the fact that in each case either the precinct captain or the Hillary captain called heads for Hillary?
in each case heads came up?
Special coins used?
All Hillary calls for "Heads"?
All coin-flips were "Heads"?
Question: has anyone examined the coins?

or maybe tick-tack-toe.
