The campaign sites mathematical errors and inconsistencies in more than two dozen locations that could tilt national delegates at stake in Bernie Sanders' favor.
Bernie Sanders campaign requests Iowa recanvass, says 'errors and inconsistencies are ripe for review'DES MOINES — U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders submitted Monday a list of 25 precincts and three satellite caucus locations he wants reviewed, arguing if corrected it could tilt national delegates at stake in his favor.
The preliminary results reported by the party show former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg with a narrow lead over Sanders in state delegate equivalents and delegates to the Democratic National Convention, where the party's presidential nominee will be formally selected this summer. A recanvass is a hand-audit of caucus math worksheets and reporting forms to ensure they were tallied and reported correctly. However, Price has said that the final results reported by precinct chairs — even with glaring errors in the underlying math — are legally binding, limiting what changes the party can make."The math worksheet is actually a legal document," Price said at a Friday news conference.
