The Democrat Iowa caucus results have been finally released after delays since Monday, February 3rd, due to a mobile app malfunction. This mobile app is owned by a business known as Shadow Incorporated, which has alleged ties to Pete Buttigieg and Hillary Clinton.
Democrats throughout the country were concerned over the past week over accusations that the Democrats in Iowa were manipulating the results of the Iowa caucus. Both the supporters of Bernie Sanders and Pete Buttigieg have accused each other of cheating and manipulating the results. Many other states who are running Democrat Party caucuses have even stated that they will no longer be using this new app. The CEO of Shadow Inc. has released a public announcement stating that "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." He went on to say, "... our process to transmit [the] caucus results data generated via the app to the IDP was not [sound and accurate]."
The Department of Homeland Security's cybersecurity division stated that "at this time, we have no reporting of any malicious cyber activity." The Iowa Democrat Chairman has since apologized for the entire mishap. Since the mishap began and more accurate data came forward, Pete Buttigieg has repeated that he was the winner of the Iowa caucus before the final results were ever released. Bernie Sanders has also declared victory before the results were released. The DNC Chairman Tom Perez has also previously called for a recanvass of the Iowa caucus, amid the accuracy of votes concerns during the Shadow Inc. debacle.
As a final result of all that has occurred, the results are in at 99% with one precinct left to gather votes and Pete Buttigieg has possibly won the Democrat Iowa caucus by a .1% spread over Bernie Sanders according to current numbers.
At the time of this writing here are the top 3 candidates from the Iowa caucus:
Pete Buttigieg at 26.2% with 564 State Delegate Equivalents.
Bernie Sanders at 26.1% with 562 S.D.E.'s
Elizabeth Warren at 18% with 387 S.D.E.'s
Joseph Biden at 15.8% with 341 S.D.E.'s
The other candidates received a total of 13.9% with 264 S.D.E's, one precinct at the time of this writing has not been reported on.
NOTE: These numbers may be subject to change in the future as the recanvass commences. Some say we may get the final results of the New Hampshire nomination before Iowa's is officially completed.
