How absolutely glorious it would be for Biden to come in fourth.

It certainly would be, though I doubt it's going to happen.

Wut? Paris and Glasgow... nobody there votes for Joe Biden? Absolutely NOTA? Come on, man.

Americans living overseas tend to skew decidedly left-wing in their political views (especially those who come into contact with many of Europe's left-wing parties and public institutions that Sanders/Warren advocate for). It's no surprise that Sanders and Warren are doing well in these satellite caucuses in Europe.

Yes, we know these satellite caucuses don't really say much about who will actually win the caucus. That doesn't mean that they have no value from an election observing perspective on a site devoted to election results. At the very least, it's important to post the results as a way to keep a record of how certain satellite constituencies vote.

doesnt this count as bribery?

That's not good for people's health, too. She might want to consider giving people salad, with forks to eat it at the caucus site.

LOL, even Jake Tapper was making fun of the handful of unviable Biden supporters at one large (~400 people) precinct.

This guy was on CNN and finally got through to the IA Democratic party...but then they hung up on him.

I get that they were trying to be more transparent, but logistically this whole app thing was a really bad idea.

Are we going to see more results tonight?

Doubtful, we'll probably get another update tomorrow.

It's kind of funny that on the early pages a bunch of us were saying that the satellite caucuses would have no impact on the final results, yet now it looks possible that they might put Sanders over the edge.

Doesn't look like anyone will file a Request for a Recanvass here so expect Major Networks calling the Race for Buttigieg after 1pm ET.

Oh well. Letting this go is the smart thing for the Sanders campaign to do: he's already won based on the popular vote and trying to contest the SDEs would just be petty. Let Pete have his little moment.

I'm just annoyed that the historical record will forever contain numbers that are riddled with errors, but oh well. That was probably true of previous caucus results as well.

Let's just hope this kills the traditonal caucus as we know it. At the bare minimum a state should have to do a firehouse caucus or a party run primary.

A ranked-choice primary where all candidates that get <15% on the first round reallocate to the viable candidates seems like a good alternative.
