Amid the chaos stemming from the delayed Iowa caucus results, many are noting reports of discrepancies between Black Hawk County's data and those reported by Iowa Democrats. Black Hawk County Supervisor Chris Schwartz claimed on his Facebook page that the region has possessed a count for over 24 hours and says there has been no communication for the process of releasing their results.
In response, Schwartz posted the county's results to social media, and commentators highlighted how they differed from the ones released by the Iowa Democrats.
Civil rights activist Shaun King pointed to the massive difference in the counts for candidates Tom Steyer and Deval Patrick, both of whom appear to have more counts in the Iowa Democrats' count than the Black Hawk County count.
Progressive commentator Kyle Kulinski also addressed the reported discrepancy and suggested foul play.
"You don't accidentally give [Bernie Sanders'] support to Steyer or Deval Patrick," he tweeted. "That's not a thing that happens. It was definitely intentional & we need every single county supervisor to independently release their vote totals right now. How do we know they didn't do this every county?!"
Although Iowa Democrats issued a statement claiming that there will be a "minor correction" to the last batch of results, Kulinski didn't appear pleased.
"How do we know you didn't undercut Bernie in every single county, like its now proven you did in Black Hawk county????" he asked.
