Feb. 18 (UPI) -- A recanvass of the Iowa caucus results reduced Pete Buttigieg's state delegate equivalent lead over Bernie Sanders to less than a hundredth of a percent but did not alter the split of national delegates between the candidates.
The result of the audit of 81 precincts showed that Buttigieg's lead in state delegates over Sanders had fallen to .08 percent as the former mayor of South Bend, Ind., received 26.186 percent and the Vermont senator received 26.182, according to polls released by the Iowa Democratic Party Tuesday.
