Since then, numerous doubts of the reported final count's accuracy have been voiced, especially after a discovered mismatch between the reported numbers and the official result published by the Iowa Democratic Party.
"Both the Sanders and Clinton campaigns have flagged a very small number of concerns for us, and we are looking at them all on a case-by-case basis," Iowa Democratic Party spokesman Sam Lau said, as quoted by the Des Moines Register newspaper.
Additionally, an audit has been complicated by the absence of a record on the number of delegates selected by "coin flips" when the results tied. The Iowa Democratic Party did not retain records of the coin flips.
The Iowa caucus has traditionally been the first major electoral event of the US presidential election nominating process.
