Politico summed it up nicely in The biggest problem for Democrats wasn’t the vote count.
Politico's subhead: "In Iowa, the party was counting on Barack Obama-levels of enthusiasm. They got Hillary Clinton-level turnout instead." Ouch!
Oh, and the irony is that even with a lower than expected turnout they still couldn't get an accurate vote count.
Maybe this whole episode will inspire a nationwide Super Tuesday primary. That would serve the country better than the piecemeal process currently in place. Many Democrats are ready to ditch the electoral college, but somehow this particular logic regarding party primaries hasn't yet caught on.
