DNC chair Tom Perez calls for complete ‘recanvass’ of Iowa as Bernie Sanders claims victory
[NYPOST] The frustrated head of the Democratic National Committee demanded Thursday that Iowa party officials conduct a complete recount of the botched caucus vote ‐ as Sen. Bernie Sanders
...The only first openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords. He ran for the 2016 nomination for president, to be cheated out of it by Hillary Clinton, then went back to being a socialist, waiting for 2020 to roll around...
was declaring victory despite the three-days-late incomplete tally.

"Enough is enough. In light of the problems that have emerged in the implementation of the delegate selection plan and in order to assure public confidence in the results, I am calling on the Iowa Democratic Party to immediately begin a recanvass," DNC chairman Tom Perez said in a tweet.

The call for a "recanvass" came three days after the Iowa caucuses, and with Sanders (I-Vt.) declaring victory in the first-in-the-nation nominating state, though no winner has been officially named and still only 97 percent of the tallies have been counted.

Speaking at his campaign’s New Hampshire headquarters in Manchester, Sanders noted that his campaign was winning the popular initial vote "by some 6,000 votes."

#1 After he saw the final tally it just didn't make sense.

#2 = (B)i(D)eN

Or at least, that's the expected outcome per the DNC.

When actual =/= expected, RECANVASS!

#7 The DNC will still try, by hook or by crook, to get a 'Middle of the Road' and 'electable' candidate chosen at their convention. They're probably coordinating their 'super delegates' as we speak.

Watch for a Bloomberg or Steyer like product.

#8  Watch for a Bloomberg or Steyer like product.

If they spend their own money as well as that of the usual large and small donors, they will get to enjoy being less wealthy afterward, while we enjoy more the result of money flowing directly through the economy— money not spent by the government and therefore not increasing the federal deficit.

#9 Recanvas? The Dems didn't get who they wanted? The rigging didn't work.

A better idea than recanvasing is to cross-over and vote Trump and the Pubs.
