Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez on Thursday called for an audit of the Iowa caucuses after an array of problems delayed results from the party's first 2020 presidential nominating contest and created uncertainty about their accuracy.
However, the Iowa Democratic Party's leader said it would comply only if a campaign asked for an audit.
No winner has been declared four days after the caucuses took place in roughly 1,600 locations throughout Iowa on Monday night, and the troubled process has clouded Democrats' initial efforts to find a challenger to Republican President Donald Trump in November.
Iowa Democratic Party Chair Troy Price later said the local party did not plan to start an immediate audit.
