Perfect Coin-Toss Record Broke 6 Clinton-Sanders Deadlocks In Iowa (marketwatch.com)

Posted by timothy on from the mandate-from-the-masses dept.

schwit1 writes: While it was hard to call a winner between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders last night, it's easy to say who was luckier. The race between the Democrat presidential hopefuls was so tight in the Iowa caucus Monday that in at least six precincts, the decision on awarding a county delegate came down to a coin toss. And Clinton won all six, media reports said.

    6 coin flips and all for one person, I am going to call B.S.!

    Calling Bernie Sanders? How's that going to help?

    Who do you think provided the coins? The big banks! And who created the coins? The establish-MINT.

    I'm reminded of Bush-Gore. Where the sole R representative in the ballot counting room had been a D 3 years earlier

    You think they can't convince a simple coin to vote their way when they've already had a representative that was a d3?

    I read the Democrat Caucus Handbook and it clearly said, in case of a tie, a coin will be tossed - and the rule is:

    "Heads Hillary Wins, Tails Bernie Loses"

    So what's the problem?
