Bernie Sanders' campaign to request recount of Iowa caucuses

February 19, 2020 GMT

Sanders campaign senior adviser Jeff Weaver told The Associated Press in an interview Tuesday that the campaign has had a representative in contact with the Iowa Democratic Party throughout the recanvass process. “Based on what we understand to be the results, we intend to ask for a recount,” he said.

The caucuses were roiled by significant issues in collecting and reporting data from individual precincts on caucus night. There were also errors in the complicated mathematical equations used to calculate the results in individual caucus sites that became evident as the party began to release caucus data throughout the week.

The Iowa Democratic Party states in its Recount and Recanvass manual that “only evidence suggesting errors that would change the allocation of one or more National Delegates will be considered an adequate justification for a recount.” That means the errors must be significant enough to change the outcome of the overall caucus.

All these people ever do is whine about how unfair life is. I swear, what a bunch of babies.

Isn't Mayor Pete doing the same thing? Weren't there were reports of inaccuracies in a few districts? I would think every candidate would demand a recount, given the disaster that was the app for transferring the counts.

... partial recount = 'partial' results ...

Great use of time.

Let's go. I'm asking not for a partial but a full recount...

Is that desperation in the air?

Why is SenSanders surging in popularity in recent polls? Because voters recognize that he's the only candidate in either party that consistently tells the truth.

Of course they do.

With 49 other state, why bother with a recount. Iowa doesn't represent fall of the US.

Always the spoiler . By the way - he previously said he would accept this recount . Some things never change . So Trumpian .

The first vote count gives one result. A second vote count gives another result. What will the third vote count be? One thing is for sure, basic math skills in the USA suck.

As they should

Good to know SenSanders is just as petty as the BernieBros

DclemDeborah No more primaries please. This is ridiculous

Any money wasted on re-litigating Iowa is a waste of donated funds. This is dumb

ffs...

Will he oversee handing out slices of bread if he were to be elected president?

I'm guessing the DNC knows it can't keep him from winning the delegate count, so the long con is to diminish his delegates whenever possible in hopes of holding him to a minimal lead, ending in a brokered convention.

Bernie knows better. He's just another version of Trump.

I don’t like this man. Warren2020 is the true winner

Damn dude move forward. . 48 more states to focus on. . This is unnecessary and uncalled for

waste of time & money

😂😂😂😂

Just proved he is neither a team player or a deserving candidate. Such a Trump move.

I will hold my nose and vote for Sanders if he is our nominee, but I am not impressed with him at all. Is this man all we have to offer?

Move on dude nobody cares anymore

AS HE SHOULD!!

Bernie needs to drop out of this race and back Warren. WarrenMediaBlackout Warren2020

Chump.

“We have an APP for that...”

Get'em Bernie!!

Caucuses need to go away. They are antiquated, inaccurate, and non-inclusive. Mail-in ballots with accompanying literature books that cover the candidates are by far the best way to do elections.

The ability to shape and determind how your opponent to be is an exclusive skill that realDonaldTrump really good at.

What a joke.

He's going after Mayor ButtPlug because he knows there's going to be no Mansion it for him this time around ........

Hahahahaha great stuff right there

There's a waste of time

Will that make any difference?

He should demand a re-vote... obviously he was cheated.

Why?

Why bother, Bloomberg will buy the nomination and give Bernie a house. It is predetermined.

Again? He must be desperate. We know how accurate polls can be.

why waste time?

*ineffective tie

He comes some fuckery

He should drop out, he is not healthy.

No socialist president!
