I just want to remind everyone, that no matter the spin that’s going to be coming when we finally get results, the main injured parties of the night will be the winner of Iowa and any campaign that otherwise outperformed expectations. Iowa rewards almost no delegates, the reason campaigns focus on Iowa, is because of the Prime-time Press coverage the winning Campaign gets. That has been taken away and is not recoverable. The State of the Union and Impeachment will now be hogging the Press Coverage whenever we do get final results now.
The Democratic Party as a whole is also a loser, because this disaster make democrats seem incompetent. Competency is something, that Democrats could be and should be running on, against the most incompetent Government ever, but each and every failure like this, will be used to doubt that competency.
The Winner of this whole thing will be any Campaign that did badly in Iowa, because the media will not focus on it as much. And the Republicans.
So let’s not Pretend this is in anyway a good thing, like another Diary I just saw is trying to imply.
Also as a Side note, can we all finally get on the same page about Technology in voting booths. It is bullshit and will only erode trust in the elections. Just use pen and Paper, its a proven method, while all recent elections with technology have had some weird stuff happen. No more Apps, no electronic voting booths, lets just start to get back to good old pen and paper.
