Days into the unprecedented and embarrassing delay in results from Monday night's Iowa caucuses, tensions throughout the Democratic Party are defining a chaotic slog to release the full results
Intra-party friction was laid bare Wednesday as the Democratic National Committee sought to further distance itself from the flawed caucus process and specifically the new application the Iowa state party had purchased as a way -- it hoped -- to streamline reporting. The app was built to collect and report the caucus results, but some precinct officials said they had issues reporting the results of their caucuses through the app.
The state's treasured first-in-the-nation contest fell into turmoil Monday night as the reporting methods for the nearly 1,700 precincts broke down, halting the emergence of a clear winner and forcing a slow rollout of partial results.As candidates and state party officials attempt to navigate the fallout, precinct chairs in Iowa have reported getting calls from DNC officials trying to verify results from Monday night's caucuses.
