In a handful of Democratic caucus precincts Monday, a delegate was awarded with a coin toss.

It happened in precinct 2-4 in Ames, where supporters of candidates Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton disputed the results after 60 caucus participants apparently disappeared from the proceedings.
As a result of the coin toss, Clinton was awarded an additional delegate, meaning she took five of the precinct’s eight, while Sanders received three.

Really hope this wasn't done for any GOP precincts.

Hillary Supporting Caucus Leader: "Ok, heads we win, tales you lose."

Bernie Sanders Precinct Leader: "Sounds fair."

You seem surprised... as if you expected more from this political system.

This was probably done for many GOP precincts. Its the only way to explain why Rand only got 5%.

Everyone knows Rand had great organization. Just see the many threads here on the subject.

Is this a GREAT system or what?
