Second Update:
FiveThirtyEight final delegate estimates as of this morning:
Sanders--1,757
Biden--922
Warren--581
Buttigieg--383
Bloomberg--232
Things continue to swing Bernie's way . . .
Final Update: 538 now shows Bernie winning every state and territory moving forward (outside of Iowa). The outliers--Delaware and Alabama--have now fallen.

Texas is expecting a delay in the final count of delegate totals awarded to presidential candidates in the Democratic primary on Super Tuesday.
This comes after a slow election returns process in Iowa. #tx2020 https://t.co/urWCwUV3SW
Intellect. Intelligence. Integrity.
Three qualities that the Speaker of the House of Horrors does not possess.
Impeachment. Idiocy. impoliteness.
Three qualities that Speaker N. Pelosi does possess--and some left over for her caucus.
This is VERY wrong.
New results from Black Hawk County, Iowa appear to have incorrectly reported numbers for Deval Patrick and Tom Steyer that were meant for Bernie Sanders. https://t.co/G6JCYIDigK

The final vote on the first charge (abuse of power) was 52-48, with Mitt Romney (R-Utah) crossing the aisle to vote “guilty” alongside the Democrats. The vote on the second charge (obstruction of Congress) was 53-47, with Romney returning to the fold. It would have taken 67 votes to convict Trump on either count.
While still casting about on this sea of limbo still frustrated, angry, and contemptuous I was sent this article by my DSA friend. We've been having a conversation about whether the caucus disaster was a result of mendacious collusion or incompetence and what ramifications it would have on the contest ahead.
Just don't count Bernie counties.
Mayor Cheat isn't ahead even under these rigged conditions.
Bernie still leads in actual votes, and is tied in delegates going to the DNC convention.
So, after the shambles that was the Iowa caucus, it seems the first real measure of things will end up being the New Hampshire primary, which takes place on Feb. 11.
Right now, Bernie is far out in front in all NH polls over the past few days--sometimes by as much as 12 points.
In every sense.
Every bit of this is fucking hilarious. Much needed comic relief.
Your oligarchy, ladies and gentlemen.
