    I have no idea if the remaining 38% is from areas that would help a particular candidate more than others, but it seems like a lot could easily still change with that much left.

    Pete declaring victory in Iowa last night and again today despite almost 40% still outstanding does feel a little like 2018 when Milwaukee County hadn't come in yet for the Wisconsin Governor's race

    The app was a dumb and bad idea, as was caucus volunteers not even bothering to try to download it until they were ready to report the numbers, via the famously reliable LTE connection one can expect in a rural highschool gymnasium

    Nobody would be trying to roll out these ill-conceived apps if it weren't for the expectation that we can live-update the data directly to CNN the instant the polls close

    The problem isn't that time is taken to carefully ensure accurate counts, the problem is that there's a hundred million people F5ing the results and cable channels racing to be the first to call it with 3% of precincts reporting

    I'd rather have a delay while things are verified than get erroneous info that has to be corrected days later. Maybe elections should institute some kind of waiting period (like, 24 hours) before official numbers are released, so we don't keep being shocked when this happens.

    As the axiom goes: "fast, cheap, good - pick two." What we have currently is volunteers (cheap) trying to be accurate (good) and also expecting instant results (fast). If we accept that "cheap" is an immovable object, we have to choose between fast and good.

    With respect to the Iowa vote count fiasco - it feels like the root issue is the expectation that we have accurate vote counts within an hour or two of polls closing, which is kind of fundamentally incompatible with volunteers counting paper ballots.

    Is saying "Dobby, wash the dishes" any less work than saying "dishio washio" or whatever

    Why anybody you need a "house elf" in Harry Potter world when you can just enchant the dishes so they wash themselves and shit anyway

    The Iowa numbers are definitely gonna come out in the middle of the SOTU tomorrow and just be completely buried instantly

    I am sorry but the Iowa caucus is meaningless to me and the results should routinely be discounted. These are people who were tricked by a conman into buying band uniforms for children who couldn’t even play instruments.

    The worst part about this whole thing is that nobody's gonna concede tonight, also this will all be completely forgotten in 48 hours

    I also live in Wisconsin and eat at diners sometimes. I know you're struggling to fill airtime, here

    "Well, there's the viability threshholds, and then of course the re-alignment periods, you can't forget about that," stuff like that

    I vacationed in Dubuque this past summer if anybody wants to interview me on cable TV about my totally uninformed caucus impressions
