The Iowa Democrat party is reviewing caucus results prior to their release, CNN is reporting tonight.
David Chalian, CNN’s political director, reported that the party is doing “quality control on some of the results”.

Chalian said the party would be releasing results beginning around 10pm ET.
“What they’re doing right now,” he said, quoting an anonymous party official, “is quality control of the reporting of the results they are getting from these precincts.”
“What does that mean, quality control?” Wolf Blitzer quizzed.
“Well, I think they’re making sure that the numbers match up, that what is being reported in is how many cards were, you know, those preference cards that were collected? All the checks of the numbers that the party is able to do with the precinct sites,” Chalian said.
He said once that process was complete, they would begin reporting results.
He didn’t elaborate on what would happen if the party found discrepancies in the tabulations.
MSNBC's Steve Kornacki reports:
"We've heard from the Iowa state Democratic Party… They say that they are doing, quote, 'quality control on the results that they've received.' They say they are doing it, quote, 'out of an abundance of caution." #RiggedElection? pic.twitter.com/hvkPC0qv9S

MSNBC reports the “quality control” checks are being done “out of an abundance of caution.”
“Whoa!” anchor Brian Williams exclaimed over Steve Koracki’s report.
What’s more, amidst the massive failure of the Robby Mook app — yes, Hillary Clinton’s former campaign manager — party leaders are actually DRIVING results to the headquarters:
