Iowa caucus: Here's a map of precincts where the data appear to be irregular
FEB 7 2020
A common error, according to CNBC’s analysis, is that in many precincts — possibly more than 80 — the number of votes counted in what’s known as the “final alignment” was greater than the number in the “first alignment.”
That discrepancy is theoretically impossible under caucus rules, which are determined by the state party.
The IDP said in a statement on Friday that due to “delays in reporting and some inconsistencies in data” it issued new guidance to presidential campaigns. The party said it will allow them to submit documentary evidence of incorrect data by Saturday at 1 p.m. ET.
It also extended the deadline for campaigns to file a requests for a recanvass or recount from Friday to Monday at 1 p.m. ET.
