"Math is Hard."

The Associated Press said Thursday that it is unable to declare a winner of Iowa’s Democratic caucuses.

Following the Iowa Democratic Party’s release of new results late Thursday night, former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg leads Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders by two state delegate equivalents out of 2,152 counted. That is a margin of 0.09 percentage points.

However, there is evidence the party has not accurately tabulated some of its results, including those released late Thursday that the party reported as complete. The AP’s tabulation of the party’s results are at 99% of precincts reporting, with data missing from one of 1,765 precincts, among other issues.

Clearly

"2.8 of the vote? That' 2 delegates to you Sanders. 0.3 of the vote? That's 2 delegates to you young, small town Mayor that no one knows anything about. 3.5 of this districts vote? That's 2 delegates for you Sanders. 0.001 of the vote? That's 1 delegate to you possibly former CIA agent that has a large chunk of history missing in your resume."

CNN headline: Buttguy wins with 6000 fewer votes than Sanders!

I do not understand what you are trying to say.

I know who the winner was: Trump.

A case can be made for that, yes.
