The plans to ask for a check of the vote count come as the Iowa Democratic Party releases updated results showing Pete Buttigieg with a slim lead over Sanders in delegates.
The Democratic debate’s most energetic exchanges involved Pete Buttigieg and Bernie Sanders. Joe Biden was center stage, but not the center of attention.To confirm the validity of the data they received, Iowa Democratic Party officials spent much of the week collecting paper records of the results and checking them against the numbers reported by volunteers.
Precinct leaders are required to fill out a “caucus math worksheet” at every caucus site to record the number of attendees and the results on the first and second round of voting. Those worksheets are signed by the precinct leader, secretary and representatives of each campaign present to certify their accuracy, and they’re considered the official paper record of what went on in each individual caucus room.
In others, precinct leaders made errors when using the party’s formula that translates raw votes to “state delegate equivalents,” which are ultimately used to calculate how many national delegates each candidate receives.
