The New York Times released a deep dive into the Iowa Caucus disaster Monday, revealing issues that go deeper than just a faulty caucus app, including a tabulation system with sheets that cannot be altered once they are turned in even if they contain a “multitude” of errors, and even if they appear to impact the caucus’ outcome.
The Iowa Democrats “certified” the caucus results on Sunday night, giving the majority of Iowa delegates to former South Bend mayor Pete Buttigieg, even though it appears that Vermont socialist, Sen. Bernie Sanders, actually won the popular vote, edging out Buttigieg by just over 0.1%. Sanders said in a statement made Monday that he plans to push for a “partial recanvass” of several precincts in the hopes of evening out the delegate count, per the New York Post.
