(3,649 posts)3. It's worth looking into when there's problems like this...
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/07/iowa-caucus-map-of-precincts-where-the-data-appear-to-be-irregular.html
A common error, according to CNBCs analysis, is that in many precincts possibly more than 80 the number of votes counted in whats known as the final alignment was greater than the number in the first alignment.
That discrepancy is theoretically impossible under caucus rules, which are determined by the state party. Under those rules, voters gather in the first alignment to express support for their candidates. Supporters of candidates who do not reach a minimum viability threshold, generally 15%, must reallocate their support in the final alignment.

When the total final alignment vote count is higher than the first alignment, there's something wrong.
