A new audit report blames the national Democratic Party's involvement in the Iowa caucuses for problems that delayed the results for days. The caucuses in Iowa took place in February and were one of the first caucuses held in the 2020 election season.Â
The Iowa Democratic Party commissioned the audit report.Â
The report says the national Democratic Party demanded a last-minute data conversion tool on an app used to report results. The tool failed on caucus night. The report went on to say the Iowa Democratic Party should have reinforced the back-up phone system for compiling results after the rollout of the app was slow. The phone system was overwhelmed on caucus night.Â
