Iowa’s most prominent newspaper has called for an audit of the Iowa Democratic caucus results following an extremely close race.

The Democrat Party declared Hillary Clinton the winner of the caucus, but by a margin so close---two-tenths of 1 percent---that The Des Moines Register says an audit should happen.

The refusal to undergo scrutiny or allow for an appeal reeks of autocracy.
