Okay, I’m lost. Is there supposed to be a key somewhere, so I’ll know what to watch for?

Nope, nothing there [ “I see nothink, nothink!” Spoken in my best Sergeant Schultz accent.]
Is it supposed to become color-coded or something? I’ve never followed a caucus like this, so I have no clue.

I could see the other link fine. I meant that it led only to a blank map of Iowa, and I wanted to know if the map would change over time. I do see that I can scroll over it, but I yearn for colors and numbers to appear simultaneously all over the map. (Teachers are like that. And I am definitely a visual learner.)

For the real answer to all questions about The Cornball Carcass, here is the best source.
Q: How are winners determined?
A: At the end of the night, votes from all precincts are placed in a jar together, and whichever candidate comes closest to guessing the total number of votes is awarded the state’s delegates.

Cruz needs to understand something, many Americans across the country do not like that Iowa votes first and many Americans across this country do not like slimy tactics. What works in Iowa where they do things differently doesn’t work everywhere else.
I personally know people, democrats and republicans who will vote against the Iowan pick even if they liked them. I’ve always found it silly, but people are silly.

The Carson camp claimed Cruz’s team spread false rumors at caucus sites that Carson had dropped out.
Ben Carson was incensed as the results of Monday night’s Iowa caucuses rolled in, accusing the winner of spreading falsehoods about him at caucus sites.
Carson’s team claimed that Cruz’s campaign deliberately sent emails to supporters to spread false rumors at caucus sites that Carson had dropped out, so his supporters would caucus for other candidates.
“That is really quite a dirty trick,” Carson said speaking to reporters at the end of the evening. “That’s the very kind of thing that irritated me enough to get into this quagmire.”
“To have campaigns come out and send emails to their caucus speakers suggesting that Dr. Carson was doing anything but moving forward after tonight is the lowest of low in American politics,” said Carson campaign manager Ed Brookover.

Six months ago Donald Trump was already running for president.
And he’s reading his talking points.
