Some of the roots of the Iowa debacle stretch to 2016,

Precincts only reported how many delegates should be allotted, without the underlying vote totals.
因各選區只會匯報應該分配多少代表給他們，并不會匯報具體的投票總數。

Since the disaster Monday night, the D.N.C. has said it took a hands-off approach to the entire operation.
自周一晚上的災難發生以來，民主黨全國委員會表示，他們對整個行動采取的都是不插手的態度。
But an email from the summer, obtained by The Times,
然而，《紐約時報》掌握的一封夏季的郵件顯示，
indicates that the national committee tried to involve itself in preparing for the caucuses — in particular, with security.
中央委員會曾試圖干涉愛荷華州初選投票的籌備工作，尤其是安全方面的籌備工作。
