It's after 8 AM on Tuesday and Iowa still hasn't counted up Monday's caucus results. The Bern released his own count, which shows him winning, but even the Bern admits it is only a partial count.
NHPR radio said that better than 1000 precincts were instructed to punch their results into a smart phone program. Apparently said smart phone program stopped working (or never worked). So the 1000 precincts were expected to telephone results into state HQ. Resulting in busy signals, hour long waits for an answer, and a massive arithmetic challenge at HQ. Smarter would have been to have the precincts call the results into county, and have county add them up and call the sums into state HQ. Fewer phone calls and less adding up that way.
