Iowa Democratic Party chairman Troy Price resigns over last week's caucus debacle
Troy Price, the Iowa state Democratic Party chairman who presided over last week's disastrous precincts caucuses, submitted his letter of resignation on Wednesday.
Results reported by the state party late last week showed Pete Buttigieg narrowly edging out Bernie Sanders in the state delegate equivalent tally. But both candidates have requested partial recanvasses, and media outlets have not declared a winner in the race due to the close margin and and the recanvass expected to start this weekend.

The delayed results and confusion over whether precincts had been properly counted led to chaos on caucus night, angering presidential campaigns that complained they had no clarity moving into New Hampshire. apparent mathematical errors can be fixed at the precinct level, because the form submitted by precinct leaders is, in the party’s estimation, a legal document.earlier on Wednesday, Price wrote that the state central committee will send both campaigns “more details on Friday morning pertaining to the costs associated with the recanvass and the confirmed timeline,” after which the campaigns have 24 hours to decide if they want to continue with their recanvass request.
“I called for an independent review of the decisions and processes that lead to this failure,” Price wrote. “While this process is just beginning, know that the [state party] is not the only party to blame for what happened last week.
