"Any judgement of math miscalculations would insert personal opinion into the process..."

(For that matter, isn't human error closer to personal opinion than math? LOL)

Perhaps some compromise can be worked out for the delegates in question because half the candidates seem to have almost written Iowa results off as an order of business that will be resolved either before or during the convention. It isn't like they have any opportunity to be looking back in this part of the process.
