Pete being able to claim he won is a huge boost for his campaign.

If 100% of the votes come in and the truth is that Bernie won, then there is a very strong case that the DNC cherry-picked results to screw Bernie and take momentum away from his campaign.

Please refrain from baseless speculation about fudged results. Sanders own campaign tabulated numbers basically match the Iowa results so far and there's little reason to believe that the remaining numbers aren't going to largely match the existing result pools.

That's pretty close and note those are going to be predominantly from places where Sanders has the most organized physical presence because they're the first ones into his campaign model.
