Did Hillary win Iowa caucus on coin flips?

[Bernblu]

I read in multiple places that Hillary won six of seven coin flips for delegates. If true, did she win the caucus on coin flips? She currently leads by 4 delegate with one precinct in Des Moines outstanding. Were there no coin flips, Bernie would be leading by one delegate. This shows how undemocratic the caucus process.

1. It's surreal that she won based upon coin tosses!

That's some democracy we have here.

[JimDandy]

2. Yep. She won it on 6 Coin Tosses. n/t

3. That, plus this. Things look like they may be a bit messy in Iowa today.

4. And they certainly try to pull other shady caucus tricks

5. She didn't win. Oh, she might have one or two more delegates, but

she had a giant, powerful, well-funded political machine and was the presumptive nominee. Then you have Bernie coming out of nowhere and turning the Clinton machine's 50 point lead into a tie.

No, Clinton didn't 'win.' Bernie won. And so did the rest of the American people.

Big.

7. The most organized and staffed Iowa ground game

ever assembled, I've been told here. Bernie wouldn't stand a chance.

Hillary needed a little chance to pull it off. This is a win fo Bernie and for we supporters.

6. Never forget that it was her guy Carville that convinced John Kerry that it

was not worth it to contest the voting situation in Ohio. (Carville basically lied and told Kerry that there were not enough outstanding ballots left uncounted to give Kerry the Ohio electoral votes, and Kerry believed him.)

So don't expect any ethical approach to this race between her and Sanders. She helped give us four more years of George W just so that the 2008 election would be hers. (Karma is a bitch, and refused to let her have that '08 win!)

[Bernblu]

8. I think the real problem is the whole concept of the caucus

Why the Democrats retain such an undemocratic (small "d&quot system is beyond me. I would bet that Sanders won the popular vote by 1 or 2% but since his vote was more concentrated in certain precincts where turnout was high he lost the delegate vote. We may never know this for sure because the data for 90 precincts apparently disappeared.

14. Are you kidding me?

(I suspect you are not.)

So the data for 90 precincts basically disappeared!

That is so "Chicago" of the Democratic Party Leadership.

9. 538 predicted she would win those flips n/t

[Kalidurga]

10. Yep and I will not let people forget that.

I am so glad Bernie didn't win on coin tosses. I would have flipped my .... No seriously who gave that the red light they need to be fired. A coin toss win is not a win.

[Arazi]

11. Yes. Clinton supporters will conveniently forget this and/or gloss it over

It doesn't reflect their spin that she "won" outright instead of "winning" by a game of chance

[2pooped2pop]

12. Yep snicker

But her supporters will act like it was a big win based on her abilities. Is there video of those tosses BTW?

13. The coin flips were for county delegates not

State wide delegate equivalents
