Like everyone paying attention to the Iowa caucuses, former Vice President Joe Biden wants to know what exactly caused the delay in reporting results.

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.
