Although the story is that Hillary won by a razor-thin margin, she actually won due to blind luck. The spread between her and Sanders was only four or five delegates, but in six cases the votes in a precinct for individual delegates were tied and the result was decided by a coin toss, and in all six cases she won the toss.

Hillary barely squeeked by in a race in Iowa against an old Socialist from the east because she won 6 straight coin tosses. Is there anything crazier that that?

So you're saying the old Socialist beat the old Socialist?

I think the Hawkeyes may have something here. Think how much cheaper it would be to decide elections with a coin toss. It beats having all these stupid debates and inconveniencing all the people with having to go vote.
Just because someone gets more votes shouldn't be important. If all the smart people vote for the best one and all the stupid people vote for the other, the worst one will always win.
