DES MOINES — The top Democratic presidential candidates sparred on Tuesday with leaders of the Iowa Democratic Party, and at times with one another, in a strenuous effort to shape the terms and timing of the release of results from the presidential caucuses here.
Fault lines that emerged between the campaigns on Monday night quickly deepened on Tuesday, as several campaigns pressed the state party for a speedy and full release of the results and representatives of former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. continued to criticize the legitimacy of the process.
The state party said in a midday statement that it would begin to announce partial results late in the afternoon, frustrating campaigns that feared a partial release of data would offer a misleading picture of the outcome and throw the presidential race into further disarray. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont did not wait for Iowa officials; citing his campaign’s internal data, he all but declared victory as he waited to fly to New Hampshire.
Troy Price, the state party chairman at the center of the maelstrom, declined to lay out a timeline for completing the tabulation and releasing the results.
On a midday conference call and in other private conversations with Iowa party leaders, representatives for Mr. Sanders, former Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Ind., and Senators Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota urged local officials to provide the most complete set of results possible, and several campaign emissaries pushed for access to the paper trail that the party was using to verify returns from the caucuses.
Mr. Biden’s campaign took a more combative approach, repeatedly questioning — in public and private — the integrity of the caucuses and objecting to the party’s plans for releasing the results.

Hillary’s campaign manager developed the app.
The app died.
Not a bug, but a feature.
Creating a crisis.
Never let a crisis go to waste.
Five minutes left....
Did the app kill itself?
They have to recount until they get the desired results.
No, but it was preparing to testify against the Clinton crime family.
I believe the PLAN is to delay the FULL results until TOMORROW during Trump’s State of the Union Message.
62% of the precincts from all 99 counties.
OOPS, what a goof I am.
Delay it until President Trump’s State of the Union this evening.
0 hour. Results will be delayed in being posted.
The IA Dem Party Chair just came on and gave a brief speech with a sorry apology and blamed the whole thing on a CODING ERROR.
Right.
This gives Joe, Liz and Butt gig another lifeline.
While you are waiting, here are some partial sports results:
In hockey today, Capitals 3.
In the NBA: Golden State 87.
In college hoops: Vandy 35.
Yes. I saw that Buttgig had some involvement. This is why the app has screwed Bernie and Biden over and is giving Buttgig a Win.
Seriously? The Dems expect us to believe Iowans support Buttsex Buttgig?
Sanders won, Buttiigieg in second, Warren third, Slow Joe fourth.
I think I just heard the Iowa democrat boss guy on Fox say ‘coding errors.’ Heck, can’t they just convert coal miners to coders and prevent this from happening again?
Buttplug cornholed it
Insiders think Butti is third behind Bernie and Pychojawea.
Lots of middle class women want to be nice to the homos.
38% of the vote is still out....
What happens when you get together a bunch of emotionally immature thieves and control freaks.
