There are discrepancies between what the Black Hawk county supervisor reported to the Iowa Democratic Party and what they're posting.

or doesn't it matter if a certain candidate is called the winner?

This isn't about who wins or loses it is about a fair process. I also heard it reported that not all precincts followed the same rules for the 2nd vote.

Bernie bros was concocted by a Russian.

I understand that Sanders is not your candidate. So, attack him. Attacking his supporters only widens the cracks in what has to be a blue wall come November. I may not support your candidate, for one reason or another, but I don’t begrudge your personal support of that person. I support Sanders now, but will vote blue no matter who in November. Let’s not gut each other between now and election day. I don’t know about you, but I want to win.

I'm letting my anger at some Bernie people and the whole "mayor Cheat" cloud my judgement.

because paper.

This happens in every election. Every single one. The only reason you know this is because of paper and transparency. It is being verified. Nothing is worse than you thought. It's human beings trying to verify every vote.

you'd think they would not have misallocated hundreds of votes through human error and then publish it for all to see. Measure twice, cut once.

Paper audit trail is a must for EVERY precinct. (Thank you Team Bernie in 2016) GOP is resistant to any election protecting measures other than the ones that suppress votes for Dems.
