Bernie Sanders Formally Requests Partial Recount of Iowa Democratic Results

   WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders formally requested the Iowa
   Democratic Party recount some of the state's results from last week's
   caucus, citing 28 precincts where the campaign believes he was shorted
   delegates.

   "While a recanvass is just the first step in the process and we don't
   expect it to change the current calculations, it is a necessary part of
   making sure Iowans can trust the final results of the caucus," Bernie
   2020 Senior Advisor Jeff Weaver said.

   Sanders narrowly lost to rival Pete Buttigieg in the Feb. 3 nominating
   contest, which took days to settle after a technical meltdown led to
   delays in determining the winner.
