Like everyone paying attention to the Iowa caucuses, former Vice President Joe Biden wants to know what exactly caused the delay in reporting results.
The Iowa Democratic Party first said the results were held up "due to quality checks and the fact that the IDP is reporting out three data sets for the first time." Later, the IDP said there were "inconsistencies in the reporting of three sets of results." Several precinct captains said there was a problem with an app they were using to report their numbers, and they were on hold for hours trying to call in their results.
