The numbers don’t add up. It totals 16,674. When I add in the reported 162 scattering (?) to 16,674, it adds up to 16836. Why the discrepancy?
There were only 16,892 votes cast total. If the Iowa GOP can’t do simple math, they should refund every candidate the money they spent on the straw poll and issue a formal statement nullifying the results and apologies to the participants and supporters.
