Iowa Democrats to start partial caucus recount

[TexasTowelie]

The Iowa Democratic Party’s weeks-long effort to complete its report of caucus results is entering what could be its final phase.

The state party announced Friday that it had completed its assessment of requests for recounts of caucus results from the campaigns of Sen. Bernie Sanders and Pete Buttigieg. The party said in a release that it would recount 10 precincts submitted by the Sanders campaign and 14 precincts submitted by the Buttigieg campaign for a net of 23 unique precincts.

The Iowa Caucuses were Feb. 3, but a breakdown in a reporting app and other glitches delayed the release of results for several days. Now, the Iowa Democratic Party is in the process of rechecking results that have been challenged by the two campaigns.

In the meantime, the party elected a new chairman, state Rep. Mark Smith, after the resignation of former party chairman Troy Price.

1. There should be no partial count...all votes should be recounted...by all reports Biden was shorted.

You don't hear him demanding a selective recount.

2. I agree

At this point a statewide count should happen. Even if takes a month. It doesn’t matter. It should be completely accurate.
