What Did — And Didn’t — Go Down In The Iowa Caucuses

Price is finished, but before he finished, a reporter asks about Trump’s claims that elections are rigged, and whether this contributes to those claims. I think it’s worth remembering that even after 2016, according to Gallup, 70 percent of Americans said that they were very or somewhat confident that “votes will be accurately cast and counted.”

Price is right that there is a paper trail that they haven’t had before. In previous years, the actual vote tally wasn’t recorded — just the county delegates and state delegate equivalents.

Price tried to brush aside the risks to the hegemony of the Iowa caucuses by saying this is a discussion that happens every year. That came off a bit…tone deaf.
