Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton won six back-to-back coin tosses against opponent Bernie Sander's camp at a half-dozen Iowa precincts where voting results were too close to call Tuesday morning — a mathematical feat that raised eyebrows and a few questions.
The 1-in-64 odds of Clinton successfully winning six coin flips across Polk, Jasper, Cedar and Johnson counties during a deadlocked Iowa caucus prompted confusion and concern from political experts and social media users.
"It is curious," said Dr. David Bridsell, Dean of the School of Public Affairs at Baruch College. "You don't want the awarding of delegates to come down to heads or tails."
"It's nice to know that America is a developed nation and we decid our next President with a coin toss," Tweeted Nick Zaxowski, echoing the sentiments of many others on social media.
In Des Moines, a coin landed tails up at the Weeks Middle School gymnasium following a split.
"That's how it works," one voter sporting Sanders stickers said, referring to the rules set forth by the Iowa Democratic Party, which allows a coin toss in the case of a tie. "It was very, very close. Remember this is a caucus."

Nothing to see here. Move along.
a blast from the past, the Clinton Machine . . . (barf)
Just the Dem machine robbing their voters of their votes, much like the GOP tries to do.
Coin toss, seriously this is 2016 not 1816
Will the liberals actually wake up to Clinton though, nah thought not.
Satan did it . . . She’s his beeeooottttcccchhhh!
Same people tossing who “elected” Kenyan.
and then stole the coin.
I have always thought that liberalism is a type of delusional disorder. JMO.
which explains all the Dims voters.
Of course she’s going to win the coin tosses when both sides depict a braying ass
Hillary: “okay... Heads, I win. Tails......... You remember Vince Foster, don’t you??”
What are the odds of her winning the first five and Bernie winning the sixth?
Hint: they are exactly the same, but had it gone down that way would it be “miraculous”?
I don’t go to casinos, but the Clinton casino is the last one I would ever go to.
She is too nasty even for Satan . . .
After doing so well in the commodities market, winning coin flips ain’t nothing for hitlery.
When I hear them talk I think there has to be something wrong with them and then they never wake up that their establishment is going out to take some of their votes away.
1 in 64 isn’t a miracle, it’s clustering. Do the 1000 coin toss test, guarantee you’ll get a couple of runs of 6 and more. You’ll also be bored to the border of suicide, and you’re thumb will hurt a lot. But you’ll learn a lot about how random chance actually works.
I wonder if team clinton is shocked it was so close?
They don’t care so long as they have every need taken care of.
Let’s say you START your test run and the FIRST six are all heads AND the coin flipper is **Hillary**:
Doesn’t that last part make it all a LITTLE more suspicious..?
