iowa caucuses

Why is an overwhelmingly white state, which has maintained that racial majority since 1846, allowed to quietly but unilaterally select future U.S. presidents?

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.

The Iowa caucuses on February 3 ended in a chaotic mess. After days of delays, the results that were eventually presented were still riddled with errors.

Joe Biden has the slim chance to achieve what no other presidential candidate has done before, but to make it happen, he needs some luck—and a state—to go his way.

Multiple news outlets reported over the past several days inconsistencies in the calculations scribbled on Iowa caucus worksheets.

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.

"Pete had the ability to actually campaign for the last few weeks while Bernie was stuck in DC because of Nancy's nonsense," the president's eldest son said.

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

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.
