Should We Call it Luck? Clinton Won all 6 Coin Tosses

BY SOFREP News Team

Clinton won a technical delegate victory in Iowa last night through six coin tosses. That is some luck! The odds against winning six out of six coin flips are 64-to-1 against, or 1.56 percent.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) voters will not be amused to learn that the Democratic National Committee awarded six deadlocked precincts, out of 99 precincts total, to Hillary Clinton with a literal coin toss.

The Des Moines Register explains that one of the coin tosses came from precinct 2-4 in Ames, where “60 caucus participants apparently disappeared from the proceedings.”

The Register quotes caucus participant and Iowa State University professor David Schewingruber, a Sanders supporter, on how it went down:

A total of 484 eligible caucus attendees were initially recorded at the site. But when each candidate’s preference group was counted, Clinton had 240 supporters, Sanders had 179 and Martin O’Malley had five (causing him to be declared non-viable).
