The state party's numbers showed that Pete Buttigieg would be awarded 564 SDEs, or state delegate equivalents, while Bernie Sanders would receive 562 SDEs. Sanders held a sizeable popular vote lead, though, and finished ahead of Buttigieg by a 43,671 to 37,557 vote margin. And, despite the Iowa Democrats' website saying "100 percent" of precincts were reporting, it appeared several caucus sites still had no data reported.

"We've got enough of Iowa," he said later Thursday at a CNN town hall, just before Buttigieg spoke.
