DNC ‘taking over’ accounting results in Iowa after botched caucus: report

Fed up with the dithering of Iowa party officials, the Democratic National Committee is “taking over” the accounting of results from Monday’s botched caucus count as state party operatives remain unable to provide a timeline for releasing the remainder of the tally, according to a report.

The DNC has been “actively engaging in calling the leaders of each [caucus] precinct in order to verify the results,” ABC News reported.

Polk County Democratic chairman Sean Bagniewski told the network that the DNC had been calling precinct chairs and asking for results, while Des Moines precinct chairman Carl Voss confirmed that the DNC had contacted him to request a copy of his tally sheet.
