(Radio Iowa) — Iowa Congresswoman Cindy Axne says she’s grateful to the VOLUNTEERS who’ve stepped up to help triple-check the Iowa Caucus results. “Folks come to the Democratic headquarters and overnight worked diligently to make sure that the results that will be released are factual and don’t leave any room for error,” Axne says.

Axne and the two other Democrats from Iowa who serve in the U.S. House released a written statement late yesterday afternoon. They said the Iowa Caucuses are the foundation of how BOTH political parties and the nation select presidents and generations of Iowa voters have taken that responsibility seriously. Axne, along with Congresswoman Abby Finkenauer and Congressman Dave Loebsack, called for transparency and accountability moving forward. “We want to make sure we’re doing the job that we were asked to do,” Axne says.

By mid-morning on Wednesday, 71 percent of Caucus-night results had been posted on the Iowa Democratic Party’s website.
