When there are accusations of impropriety, the best way to handle it is to immediately and impartially investigate. I don't have enough info to say whether the results will change substantially or not. It doesn't matter - the narrative from Iowa that continues to be in the news is that the caucuses were not fair. This doesn't help the Democratic Party, or either candidate. The Iowa Party needs to get ahead of this story and clean everything up so we all can move on.
