Tom Perez, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, said Feb. 6 that Iowa’s Democratic Party needs to conduct a recanvass of the state, following confusion and delayed results during this week’s caucus.
With all the results reported, former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) had 26.2 percent and 26.1 percent, respectively, of the Iowa state delegate equivalents. Officials blamed the delay in the caucus results on a “coding issue” in a vote-recording app.
