Americans are understandably bruised by election tampering. But mistrusting the process itself does not make our democracy any stronger.

Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders' campaign indicated Tuesday they will request a full recount of some Iowa precincts after recanvassing results show former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg's lead has diminished.

Former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg claimed early victory in the Iowa caucus for a second time, after early results showed him in the lead with Sen. Bernie Sanders.

"It's bipartisan," Joni Ernst said. "Iowa launched Barack Obama a number of years ago."

"These are the people who tell voters they are smart enough to nationalize health care, eliminate the oil and gas industry, and magically get rid of income inequality—yet they can't even count their own votes in Iowa," said a Trump campaign worker.

Bernie Sanders and Pete Buttigieg both released incomplete and unofficial results suggesting they won in the state.

Many Twitter users compared the Iowa Caucuses to the doomed Fyre Festival, while the party still has not released results.

"The app is supposed to make it more secure, have fewer errors and make communication happen faster. None of that occurred last night," Michael Turner, an election security expert, told Newsweek.
