'The process of integrating early votes into the results of the in-person precinct caucuses, however, was plagued with errors and inconsistencies,' the campaign's letter said.
to the party dated February 22--the day of the Nevada caucuses -- the Buttigieg campaign asked for three main things: to disclose early vote and in-person vote numbers by precinct; fix"any outstanding early vote and second alignment errors identified by presidential campaigns"--including Butitieg's; and describe the"anomalies in the data."
In the letter, Michael Gaffney, the ballot access and delegates director, wrote:"By most accounts, early voting itself was a success. ...The process of integrating early votes into the results of the in-person precinct caucuses, however, was plagued with errors and inconsistencies." He added that the campaign received"more than 200 incident reports...including a few dozen related to how early vote factored into the in-person results. In some cases, the early vote data was not delivered or was delivered after the caucus began. In some locations, early votes were not used in calculating viability or determining the strength of each preference group."

We only ask that you take the time in the next 24-48 hours to deliver on that goal by offering the level of transparency and accuracy that you have promised throughout this process."
