Everyone, Please Act Like Iowa Never Happened

Everyone, Please Act Like Iowa Never Happened. Keeping with the theme of counting as the Achilles’ heel of elections, the good folks in Iowa found during a re-count that they can’t conclude anything when they’re missing tallies from eight precincts. So, to simplify the whole mess, they’re rescinding Mitt Romney’s eight-vote “win,” saying that Rick Santorum has a 34-vote advantage, and declaring no official winner in Iowa. [Des Moines Register]
