Talk:2012 United States presidential election in Iowa

Roemer & Cain

31 votes. --Dezidor (talk) 08:21, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

And 58 votes were cast for Herman Cain. Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 15:06, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Delegates

The caucuses last night selected delegates to the state convention, not the national convention. National convention delegates will be selected at the state convention. No delegates were at stake last night. XINOPH | TALK 12:31, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

However, there are projections if nothing changes. Delegates usually stick with the Iowa citizen voting. Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 15:05, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

County Results

Due to the close proximity of the election, a county results list may help people better understand who won where. Give me the go ahead and I'll get started. 98.198.157.78 (talk) 22:32, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

I lightly support this, but maybe on a subpage.--Metallurgist (talk) 22:42, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Map

The blue and purple in the county map are too close in shade.--Metallurgist (talk) 22:42, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Black on map?

What does the black on the county map represent?--74.167.7.205 (talk) 00:14, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Tie between Santorum and Paul S51438 (talk) 02:12, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

No delegates for Ron Paul?

I know that the Associated Press is a reliable source and a Jan 4 AP wire says 13 for Romney, 12 for Santorum, and zero for the rest but I think it's fair to say the sources are not unanimous about this. This is the sort of situation were some informed argument here about how the delegate assignment should work could help us choose which source to run with on this. This source seems to be an informed one.--Brian Dell (talk) 10:23, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

That source is a blog, we have to go with established RSs. NYyankees51 (talk) 17:47, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Confusion over delegates

CNN is reporting different delegate results than whatever source we are using. They have Romney, Santorum, and Paul with 7, Perry and Gingrich with 2.

I also noticed an error in this paragraph.

"A January 4 AP analysis projected that Romney and Santorum, who each won two of Iowa's congressional districts, would win 13 and 12 delegates, respectively, assuming there are no changes in their support as the campaign continues. Although Paul ran a close third in the voting, he "was shut out of delegates because he didn't win any of Iowa's four congressional districts."

This is factually incorrect as Iowa has five congressional districts until January 2013. See Iowa's 5th congressional district. 98.198.157.78 (talk) 21:37, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Vote typo -- Santorum wins?

I noticed that posted today (Jan. 5, 2012) in local Des Moines news station, KCCI, a vote-counter at one Iowa's precincts says that his precinct should have cast two (2) votes for Romney, but the Iowa Republican Party's website shows 22. A 20-vote discrepancy would give Santorum the win. He hopes it's a typo. The Party has yet to respond, tonight. Perhaps this should be added to the article? -- Masamunecyrus^(talk)_(contribs) 04:32, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
