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!
