Pete complaining about Nevada results...battle for 2nd too close...

[jmg257]

Pete Buttigieg’s campaign is claiming there are inconsistencies in the reported results in Nevada, as the former South Bend (Ind.) mayor tries to claw his way to second place in Saturday's caucuses.

In a letter sent to Nevada state Democratic Party chair William McCurdy II and obtained by POLITICO, Buttigieg’s campaign is calling for the state party to publicly release a tranche of data and recalculate some precincts.


“In light of material irregularities pertaining to the process of integrating early votes into the in-person precinct caucus results, we request that you” release early and in-person votes, correct “errors identified by presidential campaigns” and “explain anomalies in the data,” Buttigieg’s national ballot access and delegate director Michael Gaffney wrote in the letter sent late Saturday.

Buttigieg's campaign is not challenging Bernie Sanders’ runaway win in the state. Instead, the Buttigieg camp is pointing to the battle further down the standings. “Given how close the race is between second and third place, we ask that you take these steps before releasing any final data,” Gaffney wrote.

Makes some sense - he is on the edge of not getting any delegates.

3. He is not a patient person

There’s still half the vote out. Relax. I hope he does take second place though.

4. It's a smart move for Buttigieg. Nt

5. First,77k early ballots need to be

counted in what is called Ranked Choice,which means there can be five counts to produce the final ranking of candidates. Four years ago we only had TWO candidates in this Caucus.

And if Pete has a hissy,well,keep digging buddy. We got this and when the tabulations are complete,you will get the hard numbers not some off the wall Media poster board junk.
