<p class=”mol-para-with-font”>The Iowa Democratic party has officially awarded Pete Buttigieg the largest portion of delegates in last week’s caucuses as second-place Bernie Sanders prepares to ask for a ‘partial recanvass’ of the results.  </p><p class=”mol-para-with-font”>The state party released updated results on Sunday which showed Buttigieg leading Sanders by a razor-thin margin of two state delegate equivalents out of 2,152 counted – or 0.1 percent.  </p><p class=”mol-para-with-font”>An aide for 대치동고등수학학원 the Sanders campaign confirmed plans to request a recanvass ahead of a Monday deadline for candidates to ask for one.

A recanvass is not a recount, but a check of the vote count to ensure the results were added correctly.</p><p class=”mol-para-with-font”>’You can expect us to be asking the Iowa Democratic party for a recanvass of the discrepancies that we have identified and found for them,’ the Vermont senator’s campaign manager Faiz Shakir told CNN on Sunday night.</p><p class=”mol-para-with-font”>’It’s been handled incompetently from our perspective, and we’ll be asking them to take a look at some of these obvious discrepancies that have affected our count and I think after it is all said and done, it should be the case that we have the same number of national delegates as Pete Buttigieg.’ </p><p class=”mol-para-with-font”>The national Democratic party chairman has also ordered a review of the results following the technological problems and as doubts were raised about the accuracy of the process.  </p><div class=”artSplitter mol-img-group” style=”style”><div class=”splitLeft”><div class=”mol-img”> <div class=”image-wrap”> </div> <noscript> </noscript> </div></div><div class=”splitRight”><div class=”mol-img”> <div class=”image-wrap”> </div> <noscript> </noscript> </div></div><div class=”clear”></div><p class=”imageCaption”>The Iowa Democratic party officially awarded Pete Buttigieg (left) the largest portion of delegates in last week’s caucuses on Sunday as second-place Bernie Sanders (right) prepares to ask for a ‘partial recanvass’ of the results</p></div><p class=”mol-para-with-font”>Several major outlets including the Associated Press and NBC News have declined to declare a winner because they believe the results may not be fully accurate and are still subject to potential revision.</p><p class=”mol-para-with-font”>Both Buttigieg and Sanders have claimed victory in the caucuses as Buttigieg holds a slim lead in the delegate count while Sanders received the most total support overall. </p><p class=”mol-para-with-font”>But the chaos and inconsistencies in the reporting of the results have raised widespread doubts and prompted sharp criticism of the process by candidates and 대치동고등수학학원 party leaders, and the field has largely shifted its focus to the next primary state, New Hampshire. </p><div><div data-track-module=”am-related_carousel^related_carousel” data-track-selector=”.rotator-panels a:not([class*=external])” data-dm-rotator-rotate=”false” data-track-pos=”static” data-preferred-shared-network-enabled=”” data-dm-rotator-auto-init=”” id=”p-22″ class=”related-carousel with-fb-or-tw news half” data-dm-rotator-active-class=”active” data-dm-rotator-page-count=”1.0″ data-dm-social-article-auto-init=”” data-dm-rotator-page-size=”1″> <div class=”rotator bdrcc”> <div class=”rotator-title”> <h2>RELATED ARTICLES</h2> <ul class=”rotator-pages link-xocc”> <li class=”rotator-prev”>Previous
