There will be multiple results coming out of Iowa...

(Per Iowa Starting Line)

The Iowa Democratic Party will now report 3 different numbers:

The Statewide vote count and percent for all candidates after the first round (including those below the 15% viability threshold.

The Statewode vote count and percent for all viable candidates after the second round

The Statewide Delegate Equivalent count for all viable candidates after the second round

You could therefor have one candidate “win” based on Statewide voting and have another “win” based on Delegate counts.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

Why do we waste our time with Iowa as if it is the most important when it isnt anything of the sort.

Reminds me of electoral college...for different reasons.

We are stuck in the past.

Yet we are still better than any republican.
goes without saying

primary today, I would vote for:
