The deadline had been noon CT/1 p.m. ET on Friday, but the party said it was moving the deadline to the same time on Monday, giving campaigns three additional days to review the results and decide whether they want to challenge them.The state party added that campaigns have until Saturday at noon CT/1 p.m. ET to"submit documentary evidence of inconsistencies between the data reported and the records of result for correction.
Multiple candidates have claimed victory and others have seen their poor performances obscured.Troy Price, the head of the Iowa Democratic Party, apologized for the issues, primarily the breakdown of the party's war room on caucus night that left precinct chairs across the state unable to report their results.But that has done little to quell the concerns of top party officials. Democratic National Committee Chair Tom Perez called for there to be a recanvass on Thursday.
