🚨IOWA UPDATE, with 100% of precincts according to the IDP.

Buttigieg is AHEAD of Sanders in SDE count by 1.51 SDE (that's less than 0.1%).

Note: IDP did NOT change its allocation of satellites SDEs.
🚨CAUTION 🚨 Some glaring mistakes that have been widely reported for more than 24 hours were NOT fixed.

1) Des Moines-14 is still glaringly incorrect. Sanders should be netting 0.2798 SDE here.
2) Ocheyedan Precinct 0500 is still incorrect. Also was flagged yesterday. Sanders should be getting 0.1 SDE that is going to Buttigieg (so a net of 0.2 SDE).

(Please, as you read this thread, verify all for yourself: results.thecaucuses.org)

3) Muscatine 2 is still incorrect. This was also flagged yesterday, and this one benefits Buttigieg: He is owed 0.1667 SDE (taken from Biden, so a net of 0.1667 for him).
4) A bigger one: Des Moines-80. Per the votes IDP is reporting on its website right now (& I believe were on camera), the allocation is wrong. It should be 0.2798 SDE more for Sanders, & 0.2798 less for Buttigieg. That nets 0.56 for Sanders (1/3rd of current deficit).
5) The IDP is saying that 100% are reporting, but UAW Local 893 (a CD1 satellite) shows 0 voters for all candidates. (I suppose it's possible no one showed up at all here; I have no other results. Still flagging.)
6) "UAW Local 94" (another satellite in #IA01) is not in this new IDP list ("100%" at all).

This party list of satellite caucuses does have it as a scheduled caucus. Even if UAW Local 893 had 0 voters (see above), this seems like a missing caucus. datastudio.google.com/u/0/reporting/…
NOTE: I am told, indirectly, that it may be the case that yes, it may be that UAW Local 893 (#5 on list) did not hold a vote. This is the one I flagged that IDP does list as "0". I wrote I "suppose it's possible no one showed up at all here." UAW Local 94 does not show up at all.
7) A mistake was made in Adam 2: Buttigieg is under 14% in both the first vote & then again in the realignment, so he should not have been viable, but he was given a county del (worth "only" 0.0857 SDE). It may be that raw vote input is wrong; or that things were off at the site.
8) This one benefitted Sanders: In Woodbine #7, a county delegate went to Sanders when it should have gone to Warren (because of the 'highest remainder'). That should cost Sanders 0.0933 SDE.

(Originally from @jhobfoll; I just verified on the results.)
@Jhobfoll 9) There is a mistake in Dubuquee-36. (Also first flagged by
@jhobfoll this morning; I just reverified.)

A county delegate has been allocated to Buttigieg that should have gone to Biden, straightforward rounding-rule mistake. This earned Buttigieg 0.2667 SDE too much.
@Jhobfoll 10) Klobuchar is missing a county delegate in Washington-Roselle. That county delegate mistakenly went to Buttigieg. This is equivalent to 0.1100 SDE.
@Jhobfoll 11) A delegate that should have gone to Sanders has been given to Buttigieg in Gold Guthrie. (I just spent a while on this, but it's actually obvious on rounding.) So that should be 0.0857 for Sanders, & 0.0857 less for Buttigieg.
@Jhobfoll 12) Maybe the most straightforward error: In Muscatine 9, there should be 9 delegates & 1.5 SDE. (See link below to confirm.) But only 8 were given out. One's missing, which should have gone to Sanders, so an extra 0.1667 for him.
datastudio.google.com/u/0/reporting/…
@Jhobfoll (An extra layer of complication in Muscatine 9: reported R1 & R2 votes are identical. Possibly true, but unlikely in a large caucus. But I played around a bit to see if it'd have changed something if initial turnout was larger, & it was still Sanders getting that extra delegate.)
@Jhobfoll OK, I need to stop. Note: My thread is not meant to be comprehensive. Sure to be many more mistakes.

I rechecked some things by myself, as I could, on my own; what this needs is a big newsroom or data team to go line by line & check.

(Rather than amplify whatever IDP says.)
@Jhobfoll 13) I verified Waterford-Lone Tree after @todayinthezach called it "a giant mess in all respects."

Allocated: 2 county dels Biden, 1 Buttigieg.

Problems:
1) 12 R1 voters; 13 final voters.
2) Allocation very off. It should be: 1 Biden, 1 Warren, coin toss between Amy/Pete.
@Jhobfoll @todayinthezach 14) Again, thread not meant to be comprehensive. I want to remind ppl it does have errors that'd benefit Buttigieg if corrected. Here's another to make point: in Dubuque-46, Biden, Buttigieg, & Sanders all given 2 dels. Shld be 3 Biden, 2 Buttigieg, 1 Sanders. (That's 0.2667 SDE)
