It looks like 62 is the “new 100” ― at least where the Iowa Democratic Party is concerned.
In the wake of its Iowa caucus debacle, the state party announced on Tuesday that it would release 62% of the results from Iowa’s 99 counties. It didn’t give a timeline for when the rest of the vote totals would be released.
Many Twitter users, led off by Capitol Hill Books in Washington, D.C., made the best of the situation by enjoying their favorite pieces of pop culture. Well, 62% of them.
The result? Comedy gold.
Just finished 62% of this novel and we’re so excited for Gatsby and Daisy.
