Cedar Falls precinct; interesting developments

Sanders, Warren and Buttigieg viable

Yang split 50/50 for Sanders/Buttigieg
Klobuchar split 50/50 for Warren/Buttigieg
Biden went 100% for Buttigieg

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

Biden’s supporters went to Warren/Buttigieg, which knocked Bernie into 3rd.
