Troy Price, embattled Iowa Democratic chairman, to step down [View all]

[former9thward]

Troy Price, the chairman of the Iowa Democratic Party who has been under siege since the state’s first-in-the-nation caucuses last week descended into chaos, will step down, he said in a letter Wednesday.

The veteran Iowa political strategist, who has held the state party’s top position since 2017, announced his decision in a letter to the state party’s central committee, more than a week after the closely watched caucuses were thrown into disarray by a technological glitch. The problems delayed the reporting of the results and cast a harsh spotlight on mathematical irregularities in reported figures.

The Associated Press still has not called the race, and two candidates — Bernie Sanders and Pete Buttigieg — both have claimed victory. Each is also seeking a partial recanvass.
