Elizabeth Warren says she's part of 'tight, three-way race,' criticizes release of partial results i

U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts sits in third place in the Iowa caucuses, according to partial results released Tuesday, a position she characterized as part of a "tight, three-way race."

As of 4 p.m., former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg was in first place and U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont was second, with 62% of results available. The state's most populous counties had released only partial results.

Campaigning in New Hampshire on Tuesday, Warren criticized the Iowa Democratic Party for releasing only partial data.

"I just don't understand what that means to release half of the data," she told reporters after a town hall in Keene. "So, I think they ought to get it together and release all of the data."

Then it’s a 4 way. She is closer to Biden then she is to Pete and Bernie.

38% of the vote is still outstanding, including some big precincts that could be favorable to her. For example, she does much better among educated, better off voters than Sanders. She could make up much or all of an 8% deficit with more than a third of the vote outstanding.
