But as errors are being discovered, the final tally is being changed, party officials confirmed to the Des Moines Register on Friday.

"Both the Sanders and Clinton campaigns have flagged a very small number of concerns for us, and we are looking at them all on a case-by-case basis," Iowa Democratic Party spokesman Sam Lau told the Register

If the Iowa party officials are being honest about following up on complaints, then Bernie's team needs to flag every last suspicious vote count. And if that ends up taking in the whole state, then so be it.
