1. That's all well and good, but it doesn't show how other candidates performed.

So there's no way to compare how Pete did with the rest of the field.

9. Honestly, I think it is a far more fair way to release preliminary in-house results...

... than to report on the performance of others.

After all, no, we don't know how others compare. The one thing that data suggests is that he was viable far more often than he was not, and he had a net gain between each round. It's not claiming victory, just saying a good showing.

And yeah, that's good for Pete. And it's being positive about himself rather than negative about others.

We'll just see how close it is to what the official results are, when they come out. I don't think they'd have released them if they weren't fairly certain of at least the accuracy of what they're saying about votes for Pete.

Scrolling through there is one precinct that didn't report a second round but reported CDEs (he was viable there tho), and another where it would appear he was not viable in the first round but still had 1 voter counted in the second round, tho no CDEs counted. Otherwise I see no irregularities in how the data should look -- when he wasn't viable no CDEs and 2nd round reported 0, when he was he picked up votes from those not viable.

6. So, I think this means Buttigieg got around 24% of the total final vote?
