A batch the released a bit ago was actually wrong. They said they're going to correct the mistake. Don't know if they have yet. Remarkable.

In the first batch of results released Wednesday afternoon, former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick suddenly had earned 21 state delegate equivalents even though he had spent very little time campaigning in Iowa. The party's website said 1,677 people supported him on the first alignment and 1,768 people did so in the final alignment.

Patrick was not shown as having received any delegates in the data released earlier Wednesday, when the tally showed 75% of precincts' results reported. After it released its corrected results, Patrick again was down to receiving zero delegates.

The numbers reported by the party also showed Steyer earning the support that actually belonged to Warren. And no support was tallied for Yang or "uncommitted," though there were some supporters in the room.

Black Hawk County supervisor Chris Schwartz also tweeted that the party had incorrectly reported results in that northeast county. There, he said, Sanders' delegate support was allocated to Patrick in the party's tally.

I know he is just trolling, but still.

this is a good point tbh

The results released by the Iowa Democratic Party on Wednesday were riddled with inconsistencies and other flaws. According to a New York Times analysis, more than 100 precincts reported results that were internally inconsistent, that were missing data or that were not possible under the complex rules of the Iowa caucuses.

In some cases, vote tallies do not add up. In others, precincts are shown allotting the wrong number of delegates to certain candidates. And in at least a few cases, the Iowa Democratic Party’s reported results do not match those reported by the precincts.

Meanwhile, in the here and now, Trump and his family are literally profiting from him being president.

Up to 92% now. Vote leader is still in doubt, but I can't imagine delegate count will change (or matters much). But I couldn't imagine any of this other stuff happening either.

Edit:

now 96%

Edit edit: now 97% and Sanders has nearly drawn even in SDEs.

The winner will be determined by the state delegate equivalents, since that is what will eventually determine how many delegates the candidates get out of Iowa at the Democratic National Convention where the nominee is officially chosen.

But delegates are awarded proportionally in Democratic contests, not winner-take-all. So no matter who comes out on top, both Buttigieg and Sanders will get a significant chunk of Iowa’s delegates.
