Two major incidents in Iowa could explain how Hillary won Iowa. She cheated. In the #43 Caucus in Des Moines, there had been a problem with the count. The original count was FIRST VOTE: 215 Sanders 210 Clinton 26 O’Malley 8 Undecided 459 TOTAL. Three people left and they were tring to figure out who they voted for. The Hillary campaign worker did not recount the people and came up with this new count: SECOND Vote: 232 Clinton 224 Sanders 456 Total. So Clinton had 210 votes, three people walked out and suddenly she had 232 votes, 22 more than before 3 people left?

At the Ames District 1-3, there was more hanky panky. Here is the description offered by someone who voted in the caucus last night and who goes by the name of DBZ5episodesyelling on Reddit:
The hall was full to the point where fire regulations were in question. So he announces that we are going to caucus outside. an hour goes by and we’re still sitting.
At this point he announces that everyone who is sure of their vote is going to file out the door and tell it to an organizer and then go home. Both the bernie and clinton organizers claim this is incorrect. 45 minutes go by.
At this point many people, most first time caucus goers, were leaving. The man still refused to start counting votes. He claimed everyone could film him if they wished.
I think you all can guess what happens next. People start filming him. Not only does he refuse to go on record, not only does he refuse to state his name, but he attempted to get the (multiple) people filming kicked out because they were “independents”.
Finally a pregnant caucus-goer takes control of the entire situation. The result: 16.1% clinton 84% sanders. If the caucus had been at the correct time, I’m confident it would have been a no-contest sanders victory.
Is there anyone else caucusing in Iowa? Did you experience something similar?
Sanders lost by a minuscule .3% of the vote. How many of these occurrences would it take to make that big of a difference?
