Democratic presidential frontrunners are hinting at victory at the Iowa caucuses, as a long delay for the official results stretches on.
A new app designed to transmit voter data from 1,700 caucus sites to the state's centralized Democratic Party office in Iowa was to blame.
Troy Price, the chairman of the Iowa Democratic Party, said the results will be out "later" on Tuesday. As of 5:30 a.m. Tuesday, the state Democratic Party has reported data for 0% of the precincts. See our live results here.
"This is simply a reporting issue, the app did not go down and this is not a hack or an intrusion. The underlying data and paper trail is sound and will simply take time to further report the results," a statement front the Iowa Democratic Party read.
