Iowa Democrats extend deadline for campaigns to request recanvass of caucus results

[RandySF]

The Iowa Democratic Party is extending the deadline for presidential campaigns to request a recanvass of caucus results amid concerns about inconsistencies and errors in the tally.

In a statement issued on Friday, the party said that it would delay a Friday deadline to request a recanvass, giving the campaigns until noon on Monday to do so.

The party also said that it is providing the campaigns with the chance to submit documentary evidence of any discrepancies in the results.

The announcement came a day after Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez called for a recanvass of the vote in Iowa. He later backtracked, saying that only the results from precincts with reporting inconsistencies should be recanvassed.
