DESMOINES, Iowa (WNB) - Hillary Clinton made history Monday night, picking up delegates by winning all six coin flips in Iowa districts where she tied her challenger, Bernie Sanders.
The situation came about in precincts where Sanders and Clinton were running neck-and-neck, but there were an odd number of delegates, so they couldn’t be evenly split between the two. That was the case in precincts in Ames, Newton, West Branch, Davenport and two in Des Moines.
In a supposed show of good sportsmanship, the Sanders campaign announced Tuesday the minting of a coin (below) celebrating Mrs. Clinton's incredible luck. However, a Clinton spokesperson expressed reservations with the gesture, asking Sanders to not issue the coins, saying, "While we appreciate the salute to Mrs. Clinton's hard-fought and well-deserved win, we would prefer to design our own coin, should we decide to issue one."
