I guess that’s the part I don’t understand very well. Does that mean the number of delegates didn’t match what the math said they should based on the final voting counts? Or does it mean some of the folks who used the app to report the counts also called in with different numbers? Or something else?
As of last night, that was unclear. I’m hoping that they do a whole post-mortem on what went wrong and how they resolved it.

I'd don't know whether it's hard inconsistencies (e.g., delegate counts not right given second alignment totals) or just improbable combinations that call for manual review out of caution (e.g., second alignment numbers that are technically possible but improbable given the first alignment) or a mix.
- scott_s 7y agoI think this is the first year that they are reporting the results of each round. My guess is that the round-to-round numbers didn't match expectations, and my guess-the-second is that more people leave between rounds than we realized.

They diagnosed the problem to the reporting functionality in the app not including all data in all reports, not unexpected results in the actual logged data.
