...“Oh my gosh,” Yang responded. “One reason I am pumped to be here in New Hampshire is you all are gonna vote Feb. 11, and you know when we’re gonna find out the results? Feb. 11!”

...After laughter and applause from the audience, Yang explained what the Iowa debacle will mean for voters...

"[I]t’s going to be harder to convince Americans that we can entrust massive systems with government if we can’t count votes on the same night in a way that’s clear, transparent, and reliable.”

Sorry to break this to you Andrew but anyone with half a brain cell already knew that. Too bad the bar to be a Democrat is only a quarter brain cell required.

The whole thing is a reboot (heh) of the Obamacare website debacle. I don’t believe for a minute that Iowa was anything other than the DNC panicking over Biden getting walloped, but it’s fun to hit them with it.

The Iowa caucasers were not the problem.

The problem was that Bernie won.

Everything that has happened since then was to hide that fact and rob Bernie of his victory.

It's hard to be "clear" and "transparent" when you're trying to rob and cheat millions of people.

As for "reliable," there's one thing we know we can rely on Democrats for.

Exactly. It’s all a smokescreen. If Biden had won, none of these snafus would even exist.

It’s rare any more, that democrats can count all of the votes on election day

It took 2 months to cheat their way through in 2019

If the results were transparent and reliable the wrong people would win.

You sound like a libertarian, Andrew. Large systems are always inefficient at best, highly corrupt at worst, and prone to “black swan” events that attack their rigidity and uniformity and cause them to collapse.

What country to you live in, Yanger? Democrats don't do that anymore. You can't steal an election if you don't keep "counting" for days until the D wins.

At this point, the DNC should just publicize the numbers that they want. It would not hurt their credibility one whit and they could just move on from there.

The Iowa vote is screwed up because Democrats are trying to MEDDLE and fix the election there.

Why don’t any Republican call for an investigation of these practices??

This is the USA. We shouldn’t have to put up with election fraud period.
