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
The irritating thing is that you *can't* fake a caucus because the vote count is public and disclosed to the individual participants. It was also an excellent result for the candidate who it was purportedly being rigged against.

You said that a few times that night and that made me feel a little better. But after those IDP emails came out, I feel like those waters are muddy again. When I'm feeling cynical, I can't shake the idea that they used proceduralism to put a thumb on the scale.

What thumb would they be putting on the scale, though? Why would the IDP want to self-destruct in a way that was a fiasco for them and the state? I'm asking honestly about what the theory is for the conspiratorial version of events.
