At least two of the flips were tails.
And whatever voodoo you think Clinton used, Bernie must have used the same since he also won 6 tosses.
You sir, do not understand simple statistics. I would refer you to "Stastics for Dummies" or other brief texts t understand this. The "Jethro Bodine School of 'Cipherin" also has a rudimentary explanation of simple statistics.
I can perfectly understand how and why you are a democrat. It is crystal clear to me.
God help our nation when there are registered voters, like yourself, whose vote is equal to mine. I know that the IQ of the average American is declining, but when I see it in action, it is painful to think about the sacrifice of my family (and my wife's family) who have been here since 1630.
Our nation is controlled by idiots. It is like having "Captain Peach Fuzz" at the helm of the Titanic.
The probability of that is 2 to the 6th power. So it would be 1:128 probability of that happening, simply due to chance. Is anyone surprised by that? Hillary seemed to defy statistics when she turned a small cattle futures investment into a fortune as well!
Bernie better feel happy when he is done with all this that he doesn't end up dead under a tree like Vince Foster.
Anyone who votes for Hillary is supporting an evil, self serving, criminal who has no regard whatsoever for American citizens.
First, your math is way off. The coin tosses were using different coins in different precincts.
Second, I think the article below can explain it better. It contains a video showing several people standing around as a coin was dropped to the floor.
Also, what you're leaving out is that there were several more coin tosses and Bernie Sanders won some of them. Maybe you think there's a big conspiracy and NPR and Iowa party officials are behind it?
Except that doesn't tell the whole story. In fact, there were at least a dozen tiebreakers — and "Sen. Sanders won at least a handful," an Iowa Democratic Party official told NPR.

Third, I think it's a riot that people actually believe Hillary had an effect on the coin toss outcome. Maybe she's able to leap buildings in a single bound too.

1. each coin toss is an independent event. Is it not?
yep.

2. By SIMPLE STATISTICS (apparently you didn't take statistics), the odds of a 50-50 event occuring "n" number of times in a row is 2 to the nth power.
sure.

Now that would be 2 to the 6th power. 2X2=4, 4X2=8, 8X2=16, 16X2= 32, 32X2= 64. That is 1:64 (woopsie, not 1:128, but 1:64). Are you crazy?? Do you buy lottery tickets?
nope, we arent flipping the same coin 6 times with 2 possible outcomes for each flip..
We are flipping 6 different coins all with 2 possible outcomes, that is the problem with the logic you are trying to use.
You good now ?
Further more, Im glad you started using the word "probability" in your later post instead of odds, LOL, still wrong, but at least you know there is a difference.
maybe she knew it would be down to coin tosses and trainer her people how to toss coins?
She won by 6 tosses, out of how many? Bernie got his fair share too...
So true! I guess after some of the conspiracy theories about Obama, nothing should surprise me.
"Gone unmentioned so far is that even if Clinton won that Miracle Six — and there were no other coin tosses — it would make little difference in the outcome. "

they hate Hillary Clinton so much that they think she rigged a coin flip that she didnt even know would happen at 14 out of 1600 precincts.
She somehow found those 14 precincts, sent them rigged Iowa state quarters and then made sure both the Bernie people and her people picked the right side to get her outcome.......................

People who believe this should be jumping for joy if she wins the presidency. I mean, if she's capable of rigging a coin flip, imagine how quickly she can get rid of the national debt!
I think coin tosses are how the Democrats pick their jokes they call candidates.
