Santorum is up by 34 vote from the certification process of the Iowa count, but they have said that eight precincts have not and will not be counted because they were lost. Super unsatisfying and a pretty sad showing from a state that prides itself on being an 'extra important' part of our Democracy.
Video embedded below.
"Rick Santorum claimed victory in the Iowa caucuses, after the certified vote count released this morning showed him with a 34-vote edge over Mitt Romney.
But votes missing from eight precincts means it is impossible to know who really won the political event that every four years kicks off the presidential nominating season.
"Just as I did on the early morning hours on Jan. 4, I congratulate Sen. Santorum and Gov. Romney on a hard-fought effort during the closest contest in caucus history," Iowa Republican Party Chairman Matt Strawn said in a statement, which did not declare a winner."
