Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders' campaign indicated Tuesday they will request a full recount of some Iowa precincts after recanvassing results show former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg's lead has diminished.
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders' campaign is expected to formally request a recount of some caucus precincts in Iowa after results released after a post-caucus recanvassing narrowed former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg's lead over Sanders to a margin of 0.004 percentage points.
"While it is clear that Sen. Sanders won the popular vote in Iowa by 6,000 votes, the recanvass process reduced the State Delegate Equivalent by 97 percent," Sanders' Senior Adviser Jeff Weaver said in a statement Tuesday."We now believe a recount will give Sen. Sanders enough State Delegate Equivalents to put him over the top by that metric as well. We want to thank the people of Iowa, our supporters, our volunteers and everyone who made this possible.
Approximately two weeks after the completion of the Iowa caucuses, the final results as published by the Iowa Democratic Party were still a matter of contention. "The bottom line is that we hit a stumbling block on the back end of the reporting of the data," Price said at a February news conference,"but the one thing I want you to know: we know this data is accurate. We also have a paper trail and documentation that we'll have been able to use to help verify the results."
