It didn't happen only in Polk. Black Hawk county was won by Sanders but some of his delegates didn't show up at the county convention so it flipped to Clinton.
There were also cases where the delegates chosen by Sanders voters were "stealth" Hillary supporters.
It's all really a mess and just shows what a travesty for democracy the whole caucus process is.

Maybe if we didn't have super delegates I would understand the people on here whining about this.

Did you not get the memo from the Sanders campaign? You guys are supposed to love super-delegates now, because he's going to use them to steal the nomination for him.

Worth noting: Clinton won 53.2% of Polk County in precinct caucuses, only 51.1% in county convention. Given how close the race is, it's still possible that flips the state.

Yes, if he gained 2% in Polk, he certainly won the state by a bigger margin than Clinton preliminarily won it.
No necessarily. It depends how the rest of the county conventions and the congressional district conventions go. A lot can change.

Well, yes, that's assuming the rest of the state stays roughly the same. The different in SDEs was around 6 by the end, and 2% of Polk is way more than that.
Definitely not a safe assumption.

Just look my post in previous page.

Apparently the official count is 144 delegates for both Clinton and Sanders. Looks more like Sanders is abusing the caucus process than Clinton. Turning a 52-47 Clinton win into a 50-50 tie.

Precinct delegates are mostly normal people who can change their mind. Bernie is doing better now than he was doing before results came in on February 1st. I knew there was a decent chance Bernie would win Iowa in the end, but Hillary supporters are just in denial.

The Bernie folks and trying to make it hard for the Hillary folks so that they'll leave...

It's amazing how the Sanders campaign is constantly whining about how the evil Clintonites are trying to steal the election when it's them that constantly engage in dirty tricks.

Well, we can obviously trust the state party run by someone with a license plate of HRC2016.
Just get over it.  Goddamn, you make people hate Bernie more and more everyday.

I'm starting to suspect that jfern is actually a Clinton plant whose purpose is to post all these ridiculous conspiracy theories and hysterical personal attacks to embarrass Sanders and his followers.
Otherwise he is a clinical case.
