    That's 100% a statistical tie between Pete and Bernie considering it's at 40%, does Pete claim to have 100% or is he too going off of incomplete data?

    EDIT wait final count shows Bernie with a 5% lead and Warren with 2% of Pete, interesting.

    Joe with 12%, wow. I wonder if Joe not getting delegates in Iowa would be the beginning of the end for him.

    37% more data, interesting. But with 40% showing Bernie up 5%, there's no way Pete could have blown by Bernie, it would have to be extremely close, with 23% of the data missing this would be immoral to call IMO.

    Bleh, **** night.

    Pete most likely won and won't get his deserved spotlight. If there is a conspiracy against a candidate it's Pete ;)

    Depends on what color hat Trump wears in his next public appearance.

    Red doesn't count. Gymatrica, b!tches.

    Come on man. You cant make this sh-t up.

    1. Bernie leads Iowa polls.
    2. Final poll canceled.
    3. Iowa caucus app fails; Dems claim "quality control."
    4. It is revealed that Pete is one of at least three contributors to "Shadow Inc", which made the app.
    5. With no official results in, Pete declares victory on Twitter.

    What do mean by contributors? Did Pete donate money to them?

    Yes. I posted the Tweet that basically confirmed Pete's campaign had a hand in developing the app. Sneaky. sneaky

    You forgot the final poll was cancelled because Pete's campaign complained about it. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/01/us/politics/des-moines-register-polls-iowa-caucus.html

    If the shadowy Shadow Inc. and Pete really are involved with the app, then I might start believing you.

    Poll cancelled after 76 years of perfect attendance.. You don't have to believe in conspiracies, but you have to look at this and wonder what the hell.

    The Pete's campaign gave 21 racks to the app developer twice. It's the second picture in the tweet.

    Where is this screenshot from? Do you have a link for it? I would like to know what the donation was for and also take in consideration that Lee Fang works for The Intercept which is a pro Bernie online publication.

    The DMR poll was cancelled because it was discovered that Pete’s name was not mentioned in a list of presidential candidates for several individuals who were polled. Seltzer is rated an A+ poll and didn’t want to sully their reputation by releasing potentially biased results.

    The Shadow app issue is an embarrassment to the IDC. The app was introduced as one of three ways (app, phone calls, and pictures) to report results. We should have the full results tomorrow.

    Very interesting that Pete’s campaign paid the company Shadow for app development. The Pete subreddit claims that the campaign paid for a different app, one used for phone banking. The IDC needs to nip this criticism in the bud ASAP, or risk having results lose all credibility.

    Hopefully all this mess is cleaned up tomorrow morning. It’s a damn shame that the results are in question like this. Gives Trump a bunch of red meat for the SOTU
