Could Get Two Winners in Iowa
For decades, the winner of Iowa’s caucuses has been decided by a complicated system of state delegate equivalents, which operates kind of like the Electoral College. Unlike in the November presidential vote, though, Iowa's tally of popular support was never released.
But in 2020, the Iowa Democratic Party will publish two raw vote totals and the delegate numbers from caucus night.
So one candidate could win one or both of the delegate counts but lose the popular vote.
