I am optimistic after noting the anxiety levels among my younger Iowa relatives. None of the older ones are Dems.
What we have here is failure to communicate.

On the radio this morning, I heard a discussion about the possibility of a Bernie Bro chimpout in Milwaukee if he isn't nominated.
I say let it happen.

I'd almost pay to watch  [popcorn]
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

check back later, like after 9pm CST, may crash like in the past. GOP had a major fowl up crash in 2012.
Iowa- 88% more livable that the rest of the US

Well 30 minutes away, about 60 people so far at the Democrat caucas for my ward and precinct. So much for my 27 year run as a registered Republican.

It's well after 9:00 p.m. CST and I don't see a single tally reported.

Nope.

Other lamestream sources (all of them!) are reporting that the primary reporting system failed, the backup system failed, and the alternate to the backup system failed.

So ... either they had NO idea what they were doing -- or they need more time to fudge the results before announcing anything.

I actually tend to believe the story on app issues.  When the Dems rig an election, it goes smoother than this.

The Ukrainians hacked it.  They are too invested in appeasing Trump to change horses at this point.

First manual recount has Hillary surging ahead with an amazing write in campaign 😄
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Quote
“We found inconsistencies in the reporting of three sets of results,” the Democratic National Committee said in a statement. “In addition to the tech systems being used to tabulate results, we are also using photos of results and a paper trail to validate that all results match and ensure that we have confidence and accuracy in the numbers we report. This is simply a reporting issue, the app did not go down and this is not a hack or an intrusion. The underlying data and paper trail is sound and will simply take time to further report the results.”

This morning they were reporting it as a glitch in the system.  Being the skeptic that I am, my first thought was the glitch was that the wrong candidate won.  But I think it's more likely that it's just the clumsy implementation of an awkward system.

Anyone blame Russian hackers yet?

Well, the app was developed by a company called SHADOW.

I think Rs should be throwing the term "election manipulation" around like every two minutes though, just to begin to even things out with the Ds, who have already said that if Trump wins this year, it's because of manipulation and thus he's again an invalid President.

#Tomperezresign  is trending on twitter, too.  Looks like an implosion in the DNC in the works.
And here I thought the RNC was the only party stupid enough to shoot itself in the foot like this.
