WASHINGTON - The two Democrats who lead the Iowa caucuses - U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders and former Mayor Pete Buttigieg - both requested a recanvass of some caucus results on Monday, the Iowa Democratic Party said.
A week after the problematic presidential nominating contest, Buttigieg filed a request for a recanvass of 66 precincts and all in-state satellite precincts, while Sanders’ campaign targeted 28 precincts, the party said in a statement.Buttigieg had a slim lead over Sanders in the Feb. 3 nominating contest, which took days to settle after a technical meltdown led to delays in determining the winner.
Candidates had a Monday deadline to request a review. A recanvass involves checking the caucus math worksheets where results were recorded. A recount would be necessary to change the actual numbers on those worksheets, but any review begins with a recanvass, said Iowa State Party Chairman Troy Price.Updated results on Sunday showed Buttigieg with 14 delegates and Sanders with 12.
“While a recanvass is just the first step in the process and we don’t expect it to change the current calculations, it is a necessary part of making sure Iowans can trust the final results of the caucus,” Sanders senior adviser Jeff Weaver said.
