    Hillary Clinton Coingate Editorial Cartoon

    Today’s editorial cartoon is brought to you by the lovely American practice in some states known as a Caucus.  The one in Iowa has social media spreading a new hashtag – COINGATE.

    In several districts in Iowa to break the virtual tie between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders in the Democratic Primary, officials ended up flipping a coin to determine that districts winner.  Out of seven districts that came down to the coin toss, Clinton won six of them.  Oddsmakers are skeptical.

    NPR claims that a fact check of the situation says that the story isn’t entirely true as the conspiracy theorists.

    What a stupid way to determine a winner of an election or even who gets that odd numbered delegate.  Then again we are the country that brought you hanging chads in the 2000 Presidential Election.
