Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
IDP reporting 62% of precincts - Sanders leading Buttigieg by 3 pts 1st round, 1 pt second round
Biden in 4th.
Klobuchar did not reach 15%.
The state delegate equivalent count, which I don't understand, has Buttigieg ahead currently.
Steve Kornacki trying to explain that.

(2,013 posts)4. Another gentleman did a LITTLE better explaining it (I think?). He said something about
how Bernie running away with certain precincts in the college/urban areas ("running up the score" if you will), doesn't help any more than Pete winning by 1 or 2 votes in a rural area. So Sanders can get more VOTES overall, but not win as many precincts.
Or SOMETHING like that. I tried to follow the best I could.

(747 posts)6. You did a good job explaining.
CNN also went over this.
Mayor Pete is winning IA right now. Bernie is coming in second. That's because it's a delegate race.
