The 12 best memes roasting candidates who are announcing premature victories with only 62% of results in from the disastrous Iowa caucuses

• Some 2020 presidential candidates are celebrating victories, despite the fact that only 62% of the vote has been reported from the Iowa caucuses.
• During the caucuses Monday night, the Iowa Democratic Party credited the delay in reporting the results to "inconsistencies in the reporting of three sets of results."
• The internet was quick to call out the candidates for speaking before the full results came in, prompting a slew of memes roasting them.

Nearly 24 hours after the fiasco that was the Iowa caucuses, the results finally came in - only 62% of the results, that is.

The Iowa caucus, which took place Monday night, fell to disarray when results were delayed due to "inconsistencies in the reporting of three sets of results," the Los Angeles Times reported.

The 62% of results reported on Tuesday evening showed former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont ahead of others like former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts.

However, with less than three-quarters of the vote in, some 2020 candidates are celebrating premature victories.

The internet was quick to both call out the 2020 candidates on the early call and also mock Iowa for releasing only partial results from the caucuses.

One Twitter user pointed out that 62% is not a passing grade.

Another joked made a reference to Sunday's Super Bowl game with the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs, the latter of which emerged victorious.

One Twitter user made a dig at the highly-criticized final season of "Game of Thrones," while another mentioned the series' star Daenerys Targaryen and her character arch.

Some Twitter users made references to classic works of literature, like "Romeo and Juliet" and "The Great Gatsby."

Others mentioned more modern pop culture references, from the "Star Wars" series to the "Avengers."

Memes aside, the internet came to one resounding conclusion:

On Tuesday night, following President Donald Trump's State of the Union address, the Iowa Democratic Party released an additional 9% of the results, bringing the total released to 71%.
