Senator Bernie Sanders by 26.2% to 26.1% of state-delegate equivalents – the data traditionally used to determine the winner – with 100% of precincts counted, the Iowa Democratic Party said. Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez called on Thursday for an audit of the Iowa caucuses after the technical glitch created uncertainty about the accuracy of the tally. Iowa Democratic Party leader Troy Price said the local party did not plan to start an immediate audit and it would do so only if a candidate asked for one. The Iowa Democratic Party declined to comment on inconsistencies. His own party, however, switched the declared Iowa winner two weeks after its own Iowa caucuses in 2012.
