WASHINGTON (AP) — Bernie Sanders’ and Pete Buttigieg’s presidential campaigns have filed requests for a partial recanvass of the results of Iowa’s Democratic caucuses. In its Monday filing, the Sanders campaign cited “mathematical errors and inconsistencies” in more than two dozen caucus locations that it says would change the results if amended. The Iowa Democratic Party says the Buttigieg campaign requested a check on results in 66 precincts. Current results show Buttigieg with a razor-thin lead over Sanders in state delegate equivalents, and the party has awarded Buttigieg 14 delegates to Sanders’ 12. But the Sanders campaign believes correcting faulty math could swing the delegate allocation in Sanders’ favor.
UNDATED (AP) — On the eve of the New Hampshire primary, there was still no winner of last week’s Iowa caucuses. Final results of the Democratic caucus were released late Sunday, after the Iowa Democratic Party made a series of corrections to its tally. That’s not the end of the count, however, as Bernie Sanders and Pete Buttigieg exercised their right Monday to ask the state party to take another look at its reporting of the results. Amid the delays in getting the data and after observing irregularities in the results, The Associated Press says it cannot declare a winner in the first event to decide the Democratic nominee.
CLIVE, Iowa (AP) — A former Iowa governor and U.S. agriculture secretary has claimed a $150,000 Powerball prize. Tom Vilsack picked up winnings Monday at the Iowa Lottery’s headquarters in Clive. His ticket matched the Jan. 22 Powerball number and four of the remaining five numbers. He just missed out on the estimated $347 million jackpot. He’d bought the ticket at a grocery store in Waukee, a Des Moines suburb where he and his wife live. He’s now president and CEO of the U.S. Dairy Export Council. He told lottery officials his church and his children will share in his winnings.
