DNC chairman calls on Iowa Dems for immediate recanvass

DES MOINES, Iowa —
The Chair of the Democratic National Committee is calling on the Iowa Democratic Party to begin an immediate recanvass of the 2020 Iowa caucus results.

Tom Perez is the Chair of the Democratic National Committee.

On Thursday, he tweeted: “Enough is enough. In light of the problems that have emerged in the implementation of the delegate selection plan and in order to assure public confidence in the results, I am calling on the Iowa Democratic Party to immediately begin a recanvass.”

Three days after the caucus, results are incomplete and have been plagued with well documents issues.

So far, there has been no response from the Iowa Democratic Party.

A recanvass is essentially a double-checking of the vote. Iowa officials would have to hand audit the caucus worksheets and reporting forms to ensure that they were correctly calculated and reported.

My god, this is a terrible look for our party and the leader wants to make it into a bigger mess. Move onto the next state.

What the hell is wrong with our party??? Iowa was a debacle, but instead of just moving on, they want to call more attention to it. WHY??? Are they GOP agents?

This has got to be the dumbest thing the party has ever done.
