THE LOG IN PIN IS LITERALLY BEING TWEETED OUT BY THIS MORON https://t.co/CZvjI0Nxkb

I was wondering if that dude calling cnn was about to give a pin or other authentication verbally while on the air with wolf blitzer

still waiting confirmation on whether he is a dumbass I have met

The computer voting artist might want to go back in and edit the first panel a bit.

I can't fathom the depths of the campaigns' frustration, but it doesn't help when those campaigns scream RIGGED or one of its synonyms. This shit helps the president and muffles enthusiasm.

haha apps, FUCKING APPS

rotary-dial phones > apps

you're posting via a computer app

so uh its basically bernie or pete in 1st/2nd, liz 3rd, biden way behind in 4th klobmentum right behind him, everyone else is basically shitted on?

don't discount Tom Harkin

Born:
Thomas Richard Harkin, Nov 19, 1939, Cumming, Iowa, U.S.

disgusting

i cant believe we let this wack-ass state even exist, let alone vote first

hee hee 'cumming'

If you don't want theorizing, don't get storied lackeys to build you a shitty app.

lol remember this: https://www.politico.com/story/2012/01/santorum-declared-iowa-winner-071757

Discharged to greener pastures.

good morning chumps

mornin’ brad

feeling seen rn

real chump hours over here

I'm confused about the claim that the app got overwhelmed by so much unanticipated activity. Supposedly, turnout was down compared to 2016?

lol NPR called it weeks ago: https://www.npr.org/2020/01/14/795906732/despite-election-security-fears-iowa-caucuses-will-use-new-smartphone-app

Was it “discrepancies” in recording or an app malfunction? They said the former before, which seems like passing the blame onto local polling place volunteers.

Is the word that bernie won or pete?

i'm picturing basically the butterfly ballot of app design - something where it's not technically malfunctioning, but where it's easy to click the wrong thing, or submit without filling in all the fields, or if you click through to the next screen and then do the wrong thing, your input from the previous screens isn't recorded because it's assuming you're trying to start over, etc. etc. so that could look like both malfunction and polling volunteer "error."

Is the word that bernie won or pete?

Bernie says they have accurate stats with 40% reporting putting Bernie decently ahead of Pete, but they acknowledge it's not a substitute for official results. So, basically, who the fuck knows

*Bernie's camp, I should say, not the man himself lol

Lol. And pete declared himself winner right?

o shit i think this guy's onto something

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EP7stpsVUAASDa4?format=jpg&name=large

Not exactly AFAICT? He used a lot of triumphant language but it's not clear to me he ever said "we won Iowa" or whatever xp

Ah ok. Sorry pete. I am still just riding rumor mills.

today would be a good day for everyone to quit twitter until this is over

or just like forever! (can endorse)

Didn't Pete say they were 'victorious'? I mean, there's a bit of wiggle room there, but...

He did, but impossible to say at the moment if he was just (not very tactfully) projecting confidence for the road to NH or if he actually knows something.

Oh, I'm pretty sure he is full of shit either way :)

So the mayor on msnbc just now admitted his victory claim was kinda BS. He meant it was a “victory” for his longshot campaign to have made it this far. He has no evidence that he won Iowa. https://t.co/glXTbBFBjQ

Does the Pete campaign have a number I can call?

At least when a senator or congressperson sucks I can call and yell at someone

my last update for a while:
my friend who went in to help came home around 1am. they were apparently calling district chairs around the state to get the numbers that were not get in, and the chairs stopped answering. probably went to bed.

there was an attached conspiracy theory but it came from said friend’s husband and I will only pass it on later if things continue to go south

Everyone has heard the conspiracy theories- is it a novel and new one? Dems look terrible atm - the central org is grossly incompetent and the idiot rank and filers turn to conspiracy theories the moment they can think one up

Does the Pete campaign have a number I can call?
