Sanders supporters would do well to video record the results as they are announced at each caucus site. This and the campaign's use of its own app to track results at the caucus level would provide a solid evidentiary base for challenging an erroneous central tabulation.

Meanwhile, in South Carolina...

Some people at polling precincts will treat you like you're stepping out of bounds to video what's going on, and it's an uncomfortable thing to do anyway, but it's the only way to make sure things work correctly.

Do it people!

Re Larry Bergern @2

Caucuses are not like polling stations. Electioneering is not allowed inside polling stations. Electioneering is encouraged at caucuses. Both Clinton & Sanders supporters will encourage O'Malley supporters to join them after Martin fails to secure the 15% floor.

So video/audio record not a problem at a caucus.

Another reason to make sure everything gets documented.

I sure hope Bernie Sanders's people are on top of this. The new comers registering on caucus night are going to have be well informed.

“In a somewhat ominous sign for [Trump and Sanders], the registration numbers have not increased much for either party, and although there is same day registration, the Iowa hands all point out that the Obama upset was presaged by very substantial registrations of new Democrats for months ahead of time” [Digby, Salon]. Sketchy sourcing, though…

And here’s one reason why: Microsoft wrote really bad software that will keep new voters from registering [ABC]:

Three days before voting begins, residents around Iowa are making plans to caucus, but new online tools launched by both the state Democratic and Republican parties designed to inform people where to go Monday evening were built with one major hole, the parties confirmed to ABC News.

The systems were only built off the list of registered voters’ addresses. As a result, for new voters who have never registered in the state and who live at addresses where no one else has registered, the online feature does not work.

“[Daniel] Lewin, Microsoft’s vice president, … said Microsoft has only interacted with the parties” [The Hill]. Who controls the spec controls the software. And who controls the software controls the vote (or, in this case, the registration). Since it would be irresponsible not to speculate, one can only wonder if the Iowa Democrat controlling the spec took her cue from Debbie Wasserman-Schultz’s manipulation of the debate schedule. Meanwhile, the Sanders campaign wrote its own vote-counting software, but I’m not seeing evidence they wrote their own registration software. Which means all that work with young, first-time voters could go for naught. Yikes!
