The Bernie Sanders campaign has requested a partial recanvass of the results from the Iowa caucuses. The campaign is asking for a recanvass of 25 precincts and three satellite caucuses in the state.
The campaign is asking for a recanvass of 25 precincts and three satellite caucuses in the state, arguing that if"errors" are corrected, the Vermont senator would pick up one national delegate. "While a recanvass is just the first step in the process and we don't expect it to change the current calculations, it is a necessary part of making sure Iowans can trust the final results of the caucus," Sanders senior adviser Jeff Weaver said in a statement.
Elizabeth Warren will get eight, former Vice President Joe Biden will receive six, and Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar will get one.Sanders' call for a partial recanvass comes a full week after Iowans went to nearly 1,700 sites across the state to caucus for their picks for President.But questions have been raised about the results, because of a faulty app meant to count the votes and an overwhelmed call center line meant to provide precinct chairs with help.
