Pete Buttigieg holds 26.9% of state delegate equivalents from the 62% of precincts reporting. 9News

The final outcome of the Iowa Democratic caucuses remains unknown, with the state party continuing to delay the reporting of the results after a night of confusion and chaos rocked the critical first-in-the-nation 2020 contest.

In Iowa, meanwhile, state Democrats were sorting through the wreckage of an embarrassing night while working to report the first official results.Price said in a statement Tuesday morning that the plan is to release results "as soon as possible today" and said an investigation found the "underlying data" collected by the new app was sound.

A Democratic source told CNN that the issue seemed to lie with a major coding error in the app that was discovered once data started flowing into the Iowa Democratic Party. Party officials began to see discrepancies in the three data streams: how voters had first aligned with candidates at their caucus sites; the final alignments after those short of 15 per cent support were eliminated at each site; and the state delegate equivalents won at each site.

Kate Bedingfield, Biden's communications director, told CNN's John Berman on Tuesday morning, "We have real concerns about the integrity of the process, and I think there were some significant failures in the process last night that should give voters concern." Former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg declared victory while speaking to supporters on Monday night: "By all indications, we are going on to New Hampshire victorious."

Biden addressed supporters Monday night and said, "Our indication's it's going to be close, we're going to walk out of here with our share of delegates. We don't know exactly what it is yet, but we feel good about where we are. And look, so it's on in New Hampshire, Nevada, South Carolina, and well beyond, we're in this for the long haul."

Democrats' Iowa caucus results still unclear after app failure | Sky News AustraliaThe Iowa caucuses have descended into chaos where organisers are still unable to release the results more than 12 hours later because of 'reporting inconsistencies' in a new app used to record the results.\n\nShadow Inc, which built the app, said on Twitter “we sincerely regret the delay in the reporting of the results of last night’s Iowa caucuses and the uncertainty it has caused to the candidates, their campaigns, and Democratic caucus-goers”.\n\n“As the Iowa Democratic Party has confirmed, the underlying data and collection process via Shadow’s mobile caucus app was sound and accurate, but our process to transmit that caucus results data generated via the app to the IDP was not.”\n\nIowa Democrats have said at least 50 per cent of the data will be released within hours. \n\nImage: AP Bernie won. The Democrats are a joke... everything about them is sad and pathetic
