One Iowa Caucus Result Reveals Hillary Received Zero Votes, Declared Winner Anyway


If you need proof that Iowa’s caucus system is a mess — or subject to immense fraud — look no further than the following story. Somehow, in a caucus in which Hillary Clinton received zero votes, she was still declared the winner.

Keane Schwarz is certain he knows the outcome of the vote in his precinct: He was the lone caucusgoer in Woodbury County No. 43.

But the Iowa Democratic Party’s final results state that Hillary Clinton won one county delegate and Bernie Sanders received zero.

“I voted for Bernie,” Schwarz, 36, of Oto, told The Des Moines Register. “It was really suspicious … I’m actually pretty irate about it.”

Some complaints that Iowa Democrats have shared with the Register about discrepancies in caucus results appear to be valid. Others stem from confusion over how the math-heavy delegate-awarding system works in the Democrats’ caucus process.

Party officials on Friday night were still reviewing reports and correcting errors and hadn’t yet shared candidates’ updated totals of state delegate equivalents, which determine the winner of the caucuses.

After a week in which the Democrat Party refused to audit the results that handed Hillary Clinton her win, more stories like this are challenging the results that claimed that Hillary had ultimately prevailed in the state in which she came in third just four years ago.
