      OK. First thing to know is the results released so far (75% of precincts) are legitimate to the degree that no one has objected to them. Remember these votes all took place in public, with the campaigns being immediately alerted to the results of each precinct.

      Bernie leads in the popular vote released so far. Bernie is certain to win in the final count. Bernie’s campaign’s own count—which they conducted faster than the Iowa Democratic Party—show him winning. In summary, Bernie won.

      At each of the 6000+ precincts, State Delegate Equivalents (SDEs) are elected. It’s a convoluted multistage process that culminates in these delegates voting for the actual delegates who go to the national convention and pick the President.

      In prior cycles ONLY the number of SDEs would be reported—not the popular vote. Most media outlets I’ve seen are still reporting SDEs as the “results” of the caucus, not the actual popular vote. The AP will call the race for whoever wins this count.

      🐀 currently leads in SDEs. He might lead in the final SDE count. This is why the media is reporting that he “leads” in Iowa while Bernie plainly leads in the actual popular vote.

      Note that at the very end of this process, Bernie and Buttigieg will probably end up with the same number of pledged delegates to the DNC, give or take like 1.

      yeah, if this goes the way I expect, the proper argument will be that Bernie won the popular vote and tied the pledged delegates, so he's the winner.

          Pete has nothing outside of Iowa and NH honestly. His whole run was a huge moonshot from the start and only by the grace of oligarchs has he managed to buy his pound of flesh out of Iowa. After NH, he's over.

          Two candidates have the same amount of delegates but one has more votes. The one with the votes objectively wins.

          That will be our argument though. Don't expect media twats to form opinions like this.

          They're going to drop the last 25% cooked to show Buttigieg winning both and dare the Sanders campaign to do something about it.
