So I'm reasonably confident I've found every mathematical error in the Iowa Caucus and look at what happens when you adjust for them: pic.twitter.com/ZvmFpjpCKX

So: With 97% of vote counted, Iowa caucus results are:
Sanders 44,753 26.5%
Buttigieg 42,235 25.0%
Warren 34,312 20.3%
Biden 23,051 13.7%
If no big changes in last 3 percent of vote, bottom line: Sanders won, Buttigieg did well, Warren OK, Biden bad, bad, bad. pic.twitter.com/lNNoj7KQ9T— Byron York (@ByronYork) February 6, 2020

Democrats impeached Trump and watched his approval rating reach its highest ever. And of course he just got acquitted. They can't even fucking run the Iowa caucus right and just got caught taking away votes from Bernie. Why the fuck are we led by these absolutely inept dipshits?
