Buttigieg, Sanders separated by thousandths of a point after Iowa recanvass
Pete Buttigieg's already narrow state delegate equivalent lead over Bernie Sanders has reduced further, to less than a hundredth of a percentage point, after the Iowa Democratic Party announced the results of a recanvass of targeted precincts from the state's Democratic caucuses.
Buttigieg now leads Sanders by .08 state delegate equivalents, according to results posted by the state party — 26.186 percent for Buttigieg to 26.182 percent for Sanders. The initial results were marred by apparent reporting or mathematical errors.Sanders' campaign said it will seek a recount. The Buttigieg and Sanders campaigns have 24 hours to formally request one.
“We now believe a recount will give Sen. Sanders enough State Delegate Equivalents to put him over the top by that metric as well. We want to thank the people of Iowa, our supporters, our volunteers and everyone who made this possible," Sanders senior adviser Jeff Weaver said in the statement.In the results posted by the Iowa Democratic Party, Buttigieg still had 14 delegates to the national convention to 12 for Sanders — a result that could flip after a recount. Sanders maintains his lead in the final alignment of the popular vote, as well as the first-choice alignment that preceded it.
"Look, it would have obviously been much better for the people of Iowa and people of this country to learn the results the night of the Iowa caucuses. But we have pursued the audit remedies that were available to us and we believe it will come in our direction," Weaver told POLITICO.
