Fed up with the dithering of Iowa party officials, the Democratic National Committee is taking over the accounting of results from Mondays 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.
They both, along with an anonymous Democratic official, told ABC that they did not believe this had ever happened in previous caucuses.
DNC chairman Tom Perez said in a series of tweets Tuesday evening that DNC staffers were assisting the Iowa Democratic Party (IDP) in an effort to get the results released as soon and as accurately as possible.
What happened last night in Iowa should never happen again. We have staff working around the clock to assist the Iowa Democratic Party to ensure that all votes are counted, he wrote in the first tweet.
Perez added in another tweet, Our immediate goal is to ensure that every vote is counted as quickly as possible. Accuracy is our guidepost.
The IDP has been in turmoil since Monday night, when an app commissioned by the IDP and created by Shadow Inc. to streamline the process of reporting caucus results botched the entire collection of votes.

Thanks to Bon Mots! These are great.
The one thing you can count on is that the DemocRats will cheat because they don’t even trust their supporters to select the “right” candidate.
Hah...........
No. “Honesty” is an anathema to a dem. If you’re honest, you’re disqualified from being a dem.
Is non-iPhone based back up system, using the secure phone lines and email with the assistance of a phone companies and ISPs, laptops and spreadsheets, couriers with flash drives or the written tally if necessary, really that hard to figure out?
Thanks to Bon Mots! These are great.
Absolutely great and so fast with the on target memes!

...from the party that invented “Super-Delegates”...
No doubt the App was outsourced to the Democrats favorite future Democrats: H1B Indians
Some caucus chairs said they played with the app days before the caucus, and knew it wasnt working properly. When they complained to the state Dem org, they were ignored.
So let’s get this strait...
HRC and Romney’s folks over at “Shadow” and “Acronym” play with the primary vote in Iowa, and now HRC’s DNC folks will make sure everything gets fixed.
Thats awesome!
Hillary put out the word to schedule the Iowa Chair for a suicide.
Does the state of Iowa have any say in this? Can the national organization come in and dictate who their winners and losers will be?
