The 38-year-old US Democratic presidential campaigner Buttigieg led the Iowa primary with a slight advantage of 0.1% on the 6th to the 40-year-old federal Senator Sanders, who was 40 years older than him in the Iowa primary.
After three days of delay due to "technical reasons", all the voting results of Iowa , the first primary election voting state in the US presidential election in 2020, were announced on the evening of the 6th. In the Democratic Party, Indiana South Bend Mayor Buttigieg almost tied with Sanders (26.1%) with a vote rate of 26.2%. Senator Warren (18.0%), former Vice President Biden (15.8%) and Senator Klobutch (12.3%) ranked third to fifth.

Iowa is one of the few states in the United States that implements the party and caucus meetings of each party to hold voting for primary elections. On the Republican side, President Trump , who is seeking re-election, won the state without any suspense.
Given that the vote-winning two Democratic candidates, old and young, were too close to each other, the Associated Press said on the 6th that considering the vote conversion error and the irregular vote counting process, it is impossible to determine who is the winner of Iowa. The Washington Post commented that former New York Mayor Bloomberg , who skipped the early initial election vote, was the "winner" of Iowa.
"It's great to hear the news of our victory." Buttigieg, who has turned to New Hampshire, said on the 6th, "Senator Sanders also had a wonderful night, and I would like to congratulate him and his supporters."

The Sanders campaign team also announced that it was the winner of Iowa. "A outdated and meaningless conversion statistics cannot determine who is the winner of Iowa," Jeff Weaver, a senior adviser to its team, said in a statement. "Buttiger announced his candidacy in January last year and is the youngest Democrats to run for the 2020 general election. He has adopted a middle-line on issues such as climate change, health insurance reform, immigration policy, etc. His poll approval rating has been bullish since December last year, but it was beyond the expectations of the US media for his first victory.

Another major "accident" in the primary election results is Biden, whose poll support rating has always been leading. The battle for Iowa should have begun between him and Sanders. Although there is a "symbolical" element to winning the first election, according to historical data since 1972, no candidate with the fourth highest vote in Iowa can finally win the nomination for the party's presidential candidate. The "accident" of major delays in
voting statistics has also made the Iowa Democratic Party controversial. On the 36th, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee of the United States, Perez, asked him to re-check the vote counting results to ensure the data is accurate.
