Iowa Caucus 2012 - Why no recount? | |
| Girl Genius Offer Upgrade  User ID: 1133676  United States01/05/2012 09:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com] DES MOINES — It was, perhaps, the closest finish ever between two candidates in a presidential caucus. At just before 3 a.m. Eastern time on Wednesday, the chairman of the Iowa Republican Party went on television to announce the official result: Mitt Romney had beaten Rick Santorum by eight votes out of 60,022 cast for the two men. So why no recount?  More damage control... [link to mediamatters.org] Nothing to see here ...

| Bob the Monkey User ID: 625379 United States01/05/2012 09:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Because Iowa is a caucus. It's primarily done by a bunch of people writing their vote on a piece of paper and slipping it into a box and counted at each precinct. Watch the videos. It's like your highschool council contest. No one is going to recount it. There is no law for a recount anyway. |
