The Iowa Democratic Party set a deadline of noon Monday for a recanvass request. It extended the deadline after a cascade of events delayed a release of preliminary results.
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.
After Sanders campaign made the request, a similar request came in from former mayor Pete Buttigieg's campaign. Buttigieg said in his letter, obtained by the Des Moines Register, that his recanvass request is based on reporting discrepancies, calculation/math errors and a reporting and calculation error in how state delegate equivalents were awarded to in-state satellite caucuses. State delegate equivalents, or SDEs, are used to calculate the winner of Iowa's Democratic caucus.
"These errors and inconsistencies are ripe for review because their correction would change the national delegate allocation by moving, at a minimum, one delegate from Mayor Buttigieg to my campaign," Sanders wrote in a letter to Iowa Democratic Party Chair Troy Price. The Iowa Democratic Party has 48 hours to accept or reject the request. If it accepts the campaign's request, it will give an anticipated timeline for review and estimated cost to the candidate for the review.
