UPDATE: The Associated Press is unable to declare a winner of Iowa’s Democratic caucuses.

Former Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Sen. Bernie Sanders are locked in a tight race with most precincts reporting.

However, the Democratic Party chair has called for a recanvass of the vote following days of uncertainty about the outcome of Monday's caucuses.

AP Executive Editor Sally Buzbee said Thursday that because of the irregularities, it is not possible to declare a winner at this point.

The AP will continue to review the results from the Iowa Democratic Party as it completes its tabulation, as well as the results of any potential recanvass or recount.

Original Story: The chairman of the Democratic National Committee is calling for a “recanvass”of the results of Monday's Iowa caucus.

Technical problems and delays have marred the first contest on the 2020 election calendar.

The current results show Pete Buttigieg and Bernie Sanders nearly tied with almost all the votes counted.

But the race remained too early to call early Thursday, with 97% of precincts reporting.

Party officials are scrambling to verify the remaining results three days after Iowans gathered at caucus sites across the state to begin choosing which Democrat will take on President Donald Trump in November.

The next contest in the election season is the New Hampshire primary this coming Tuesday.

The initial Iowa results came out after 24 hours of chaos.

The troubles raised questions about Iowa's traditional place atop the presidential primary calendar.
