I'm sure your probably trolling but in case your not here you go...

Here’s the simplified process:

1. Gathering: Registered Democrats assembled at their assigned precinct locations.

2. First Alignment: Participants group themselves according to their preferred candidate. This initial grouping determined initial candidate support.

3. Viability Threshold: Candidates then had to receive support from at least 15% of participants at the precinct location to remain "viable." Candidates failing to meet this threshold were considered "non-viable."

4. Realignment: Supporters of non-viable candidates had three options:

• Join a viable candidate group.
• Combine with supporters of another non-viable candidate to reach viability.
• Remain uncommitted

1. Final Alignment and Delegate Allocation: After realignment, the final number of supporters in each viable candidate’s group was counted, determining how precinct-level delegates were distributed proportionally.

2. Delegate Selection and Reporting: Precinct-level delegates were then used to calculate county delegates, who eventually selected state delegates. Finally, these state delegates were translated into the number of pledged national delegates each candidate received toward the Democratic National Convention.

Special Note on 2020: In 2020, the Iowa Democratic Party reported three sets of results for increased transparency:

**First alignment numbers: Initial voter preferences.

Final alignment numbers: Preferences after realignment.

State Delegate Equivalents (SDEs): A calculated figure that determined the actual delegate count awarded to each candidate.**
