Still no word from Iowa.
So Buttigieg is claiming victory.
Some users are saying to MSNBC they gave up on the app in the morning and stopped early even trying to enter data, giving the lie to Iowa officials claiming the data are sound but only reporting is some sort of problem.
Trump and the GOP are not merely claiming incompetence but that this proves the system is somehow being rigged. By somebody. Somehow. For someone or against someone.
Iowa Caucus vote totals delayed amid 'inconsistencies'; campaigns lash out at 'crazy' state party
The Iowa Democratic Party (IDP) still has not reported official vote totals in the critical Iowa Caucuses as of early Tuesday morning, in a largely unexplained and unprecedented delay that has raised questions about the legitimacy of the contest — and Democratic campaign officials are livid, Fox News has learned.
The Trump campaign, meanwhile, openly suggested that the delay meant that the caucuses were being "rigged," and that the embarrassing night proved that the Democratic Party can't be trusted to run Americans' health care and implement sweeping new government programs.
Even if a winner were ultimately announced, the chaos and confusion has seemingly erased any hope for the major momentum boost that would normally result.
Update 5:00 pm, Iowa released 62% of the data to the media who have not the least idea how to interpret the numbers.
Reportedly, the Iowa Democratic Party relied on some outside experts to test their new app and did not even once do a mock vote or their own or any sort of stress test.
Where do you find an ISD stupid enough not to advise their employers that's nuts?
Meanwhile, newsies are saying that actual caucus goers and officials did not behave according to the rules so that some results are gibberish on their face.
Example, in some cases people eliminated as non viable on the first round nevertheless appeared in and were viable in the second round.
So, fucked.
