So MSNBC refuses to say Pete won Iowa

I know that in the larger story of the night this isn't the top story but in terms of history it most surely does. He won Iowa by the way it was measured until a gay man won it apparently. MSNBC should know better, be better, and do better.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Bernie winning the popular vote is a big talking point.
I wonder if that's why they haven't decalred a victor...

Buttigeig 562.95 vs Sanders 562.02
I'm trying to find the final vote totals, but Sanders won by around 10K, I think.

The larger number is "county delegates," and the smaller is the actual convention delegates.
I don't understand it myself, honestly.

I'd love to know what their rationale is. Well, maybe I wouldn't.

…even though Iowa has certified their results showing that Buttigieg won their state, Sanders has petitioned the DNC for something (???) in the hopes of having the results overturned or delegates refused or something. Who the hell knows. Once that issue is settled, it will be like the sixth time Buttigieg has beaten Sanders in the state!
