Where's the DOJ? Where's the Congressional investigation Mr Issa? How do they lose 8 precincts worth of votes? If Santorum really won Iowa he lost a lot of momentum because of shady Iowa. What a disgrace!

"Can we finally stop taking the Iowa caucuses seriously? Please?"

Then there is this:

How the heck do you mistake 2 votes for 22 votes? A third grader would have counted better.

"The miscount of 2012 Iowa caucus results which was reported today January 19, 2012 was known the day after the caucuses ended when a precinct had misreported the results for Romney as 22 votes when in fact there had only been 2 votes."

Here's the Des Moines Register making excuses for the state:

Time to rotate the primary order. Where is the investigation? I think Iowa should lose all of its delegates and go last in 2016.

Tell me. How is Iowa different than ACORN?

Good, I have time to edit my post -An estimated 298 votes are missing from those 8 precincts. 298 was the number reported from them in 2008. But don't they have to sign in somewhere? Shouldn't we know the EXACT missing number of votes? 8 freakin' counties! Where's the outrage like when a place like Chicago does this?

"The eight precincts with missing results were spread across five Iowa counties. In the 2008 GOP primaries, these precincts accounted for a total of 298 votes."

One county guy says he'll take the blame for it. I think he should go to jail.

It was important to the Wall Street money men that Romney get the momentum on election night, so the results were rigged to give him a narrow victory. The real count is out now and he lost. He lost bigger than they want to say, hence the "missing precincts". Rigging the outcome for Romney was the whole reason for the secret ballot counting location, remember? For all anyone knows, Paul was the real winner.

Dang Laura, you know I've been aching to ask that very same question all day. Just glad it came from someone center/right/

Republicans spend a lot of time kvetching about voter ID and the integrity of elections, but they couldn't run a caucus properly in a small state like Iowa. Plus, they lost the votes from eight precincts.

I have to admit, it is hard to spin this anyway positive (or even excusable) for my beloved state.
