Det har kommit fram mer nu om hur Ted Cruz vann Iowa.
Here’s what happened:
As caucus-goers gathered to vote on Monday, CNN reported that Carson would head to Florida after the Iowa vote. Chris Moody of CNN tweeted:

Ben Carson will likely speak at his victory party in Iowa before caucus results are in so he can catch a flight.

Carson won't go to NH/SC, but instead will head home to Florida for some R&R. He'll be in DC Thursday for the National Prayer Breakfast.
1:43 AM - 2 Feb 2016
The Cruz campaign passed this along to caucus-goers as an indication that Carson was dropping out of the race. For instance, Cruz booster Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) retweeted Moody, stating:

Carson looks like he is out. Iowans need to know before they vote. Most will go to Cruz, I hope. https://twitter.com/moody/status/694320149432651776 …

King somehow neglected to pass along Moody’s tweet that immediately followed the one above, which said:

Ben Carson's campaign tells me he plans to stay in the race beyond Iowa no matter what the results are tonight.

"In fact, the Cruz campaign more generally failed to make the distinction between “going home before heading out to the primary” versus “going home and quitting the nomination process altogether,” with the result that many Carson supporters mistakenly thought their preferred candidate was dropping out of the race.
And the Cruz campaign was following up on that “information,” prodding Carson’s supporters to vote for Cruz instead.
This is political malpractice, plain and simple. You cannot, just hours before a vote, announce at a polling place that a candidate is dropping out of the race. That kind of news is political dynamite which is almost guaranteed to affect the vote. You can’t repeat it unless you verify it.
