We are learning more about why the Iowa Democratic Party had such a rough time on Monday trying to collect reports from its precinct caucus leaders. It turns out there was an attempt by Trump’s followers to sabotage the telephonic backup reporting mechanism that the party had planned on using in case of problems with its mobile app — problems which have already been widely reported.

Via Bloomberg:

Supporters of President Donald Trump flooded a hotline used by Iowa precinct chairs to report Democratic caucus results after the telephone number was posted online, worsening delays in the statewide tally, a top state Democrat told party leaders on a conference call Wednesday night.

According to two participants on the call, Ken Sagar, a state Democratic central committee member, was among those answering the hotline on caucus night and said people called in and expressed support for Trump. The phone number became public after people posted photos of caucus paperwork that included the hotline number, one of the people on the call said.

The phone call Wednesday night between the Iowa Democratic Party staff and state central committee, the party’s elected governing body, came as the party was still counting results.


Don't tell me Republicans - It's all "Fake News" right??

No surprise. They even attempt to censor this stupid forum from truthful fact-based articles in debates, unless the articles agreed with their promoted lies and false-witness. They really are a piece-of-work; ALL of them! You can expect more from these worthless POS until they are removed for good.


>crickets< from the Trumplicans.


The US political system is fukked.

"Via bloomberg"

Lol

It's obvious that this is an entirely self-caused problem, most likely deliberately.

Obamacare failing, Hillary losing, Hillary's e-mails, Benghazi debacle, inability to run an election in Iowa, yep, it's all Trump's fault. The super human powers he has is immeasurable!

That reminds me, I have a friend that blames all his problems on his ex-wife. I wonder if she is related to Trump.

Oh bother. I know, let's let the DNC run our health care now. First though we will need some sort of Kryptonite to subdue Trump's powers, otherwise it will be doomed to failure.

I think it is understood by all that when you blame the GOP you are really blaming Putin.

But at the same time it's still Trump's fault.

What we need is a psychologist on here to better explain TDS.

It all has that familiar feel to it, eh?... like the 2016 election.

Hilary/DNC get caught cheating the primary so they lose the 2016 general election. The dems, to save face, blame Russia/Trump for hacking the election LOL

Same thing here, the smellocrats just can't accept that they are caught red handed tinkering with yet another election. What do they dems do...?

Wheel out Trump to pin the blame on.

Spineless Jellyfish.

The only TDS I see here is all you Trumptards thinking Trump is a great president.

"I don't care if he IS corrupt, he sure showed those liberals!!!!!11!!"

The major difference between this election and 2016 is who will wake up the day after, feeling like they got their teeth kicked in.

What goes around, comes around.
