Tom Perez, formann for Demokratene, går inn for omvalg i Iowa. Perez sa det var på tide å få et resultat velgerne kunne ha tillit til.

The chairman of the Democratic National Committee called on Thursday for a “recanvass” of the results of Monday’s Iowa caucus, which was marred by technical problems and delays.

”Enough is enough,” party leader Tom Perez wrote on Twitter. He said he was calling for the recanvass in order to “assure public confidence in the results.”

Forventningene var store til det første primærvalget, men det hele forvandlet seg til en skandale da app’en som skulle telle resultater brøt sammen. Man måtte gå over til manuell innrapportering på telefon og til det var det alfor få linjer.

The chaos surrounding the reporting breakdown has undermined the impact of Iowa’s election, which typically rewards winners with a surge of momentum heading into subsequent primary contests.

Først torsdag ble det klart at Bernie Sanders og Pete Buttigieg ligger side om side. Begge har reist til New Hampshire for å drive kampanje der.
