Joe Biden’s campaign sent the Iowa Democratic Party a letter complaining about “considerable flaws” in the reporting system and calling for “full explanations and relevant information regarding the methods of quality control you are employing”
DES MOINES — The Iowa caucuses spun into disarray late Monday, as reporting inconsistencies delayed results and cast an air of doubt over the first contest of the 2020 primary campaign.
At this point in 2016, roughly 85 percent of the precincts had reported delegate totals. This year it's zero. And late Monday, each campaign was being invited to send two people for a meeting with Democratic Party officials about the results. "We are on paper in many cases," not the app, as was planned, said one Iowa Democrat. "The whole system largely broke."
The results delay came after anecdotal reports from precinct caucus chairs early Monday who said they were having issues with their caucus night reporting apps. The app, developed by the Democratic Party, helps the chairs do the math to help figure out which candidates will meet the viability thresholds Monday night. And it’s a tool to feed the ultimate results to the party in real-time.
Bernie Sanders, a progressive populist, had appeared to push ahead in Iowa in the run-up to the caucuses, according to the most recent RealClearPolitics polling average, riding new wave of momentum after nearly toppling Hillary Clinton in the state in 2016.
