Democrat Pete Buttigieg ‘randomly’ won the coin toss in Iowa Monday night.
Maybe this is how Hillary Clinton won 6-for-6 coin toss victories in Iowa in 2016?
The young man in charge of the coin toss between Buttigieg and Klobuchar had no idea what he was doing.
And no one stepped in to redo the coin toss.

BBC reporter Anthony Zurcher said the coin-flipper was a student from Florida who traveled to Iowa with his dad to watch the Iowa caucuses.
He was chosen to flip the coin because he was an “impartial observer.”

The student told Zurcher he was ‘nervous and caught the coin between his fingers.’
Afterward he told me he was a bit nervous and caught the coin between his fingers. He said he’d have to practice more next time.

It is now Tuesday afternoon and the Democrats still have no caucus results.
The Iowa Democrat Party Chairman blamed the delay on a “coding error.”
