Iowa Has Spoken First

Well the (potential ~ many who vote in caucuses and primaries don’t actually bother to vote in the actual Presidential vote), electorate of Iowa have spoken .. or perhaps muttered is the correct term.

In the Democratic Party race, they seemingly couldn’t decide between Hilary Clinton or Bernie Sanders, with the votes reported as being around:

Democratic Vote:
  • Hillary Clinton: 50%, with 22 delegates
  • Bernie Sanders 50%, with 21 delegates

…. Strangely, in five of the precincts, the vote was reported as being decided by the toss of a coin - all of which were won by Ms Clinton, so very lucky.

While in the Republican Party race, despite the BBC claiming that Trump had been ‘dealt a blow’, it was much the same kind of result …. with three of the candidates looking forward to still being in the race, all with eight or seven delegates each.

Republican Voters:
  • Ted Cruz: 28%, eight delegates
  • Donald Trump: 24%, seven delegates
  • Marco Rubio: 23%, seven delegates
  • Ben Carson: 9%, three delegates
