Well, we’re going to call it a night here at Daily Kos Elections. As of this moment, 1,673 of 1,683 precincts are reporting for the Democrats, and Hillary Clinton holds a 49.9% to 49.6% lead over Bernie Sanders. Those percentages reflect so-called “state delegate equivalents,” not the popular vote; in these SDEs, Clinton leads 696 to 692.
Media reports have indicated that the Iowa Democratic Party is having trouble reaching a handful of precinct captains to obtain the results from those caucus sites. How this is even possible just boggles the mind. Not that we needed one, but it’s yet another reason to ditch Iowa as the first state in the nation.
Anyhow, thanks for joining us all night long, and tune in next week for New Hampshire!
