Impact of Early Call on Iowa Caucus
The Associated Press made an early call in the Iowa caucus before all the ballots were cast, leading to concerns of election interference and discouragement among voters who were still in line to cast their ballots. Candidates like Ron DeSantis were upset because they had rallied their supporters to caucus sites in sub-freezing conditions, and the early call could potentially discourage people from participating. The campaigns have a valid point in expressing concerns about the impact of such early calls on the voting process.
