Des Moines — The chair of the Iowa Democratic Party wrote in email distributed to election officials on Tuesday morning that precinct results would be collected by hand, signaling a drawn out process that could add many hours to an already chaotic caucus.
The email was sent the morning after a dramatic failure in the state part’s voting app, which have delayed reporting the final results and renewed question about Iowa’s status as first in the primary process. According to a source working with one of the campaigns, the Iowa Democratic Party was set to hold a conference call with all of the candidates’ teams to update them on the process. That call was originally scheduled for noon central time and was postponed by fifteen minutes. At the top of the call, the source said Troy promised to release the “majority of results” from the caucuses by 4 pm.
Cody Hankerson, a 24 year old precinct captain in Sioux City’s 28th, says he found the app especially glitchy in reporting second realignment data, which takes place when supporters show candidates fall below the 15 percent threshold are forced to choose a viable candidate. Hankerson told Yahoo News he was unable to properly account for voters who choose not to align with another candidate and simply walked out.
“Many other volunteers in my area were 70 and above. I can’t imagine that in every precinct in every county, there was someone who was 24 and engaged in party politics,” he said. He added, that while he is “pretty sure that I did it right, I can not be totally sure.”
