One thing that's important to stress about Iowa is that everybody at the caucus events learns the outcome. The statewide result could be reconstructed even if there weren't a paper trail, but there is also a very thorough paper trail. The integrity of the election is not in doubt

There is a live tally of the various supporters at the events, which you see with your own eyes. This gets announced and reported, then converted to delegate counts. Everyone leaves the caucus knowing the precinct's tallies and final counts. Many of those people are still around!

Observers (like me!) are allowed to attend the events. They are run very diligently by local precinct captains. The fact that everyone's vote is public, and seen by everyone else at the caucus, makes this kind of poll harder to rig than a secret ballot. The tally will be accurate

Please remind people you see spreading disinformation that the results are being compiled by phone by the Iowa Democratic Party, not the DNC. The process can also be independently verified. Casting doubt on fair elections is poison to our democracy; don't let people do it!

Amazed at how many people who yesterday were expert virologists are now doing forensic analysis via Twitter of election reporting apps. I can't wait until they learn that some caucuses tonight were led by partisan campaign staff! Please just have a beer and go to bed.

I mean you're basically just admitting to repeated cases of failing reading comprehension above anything else
