Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign plans to ask for a partial recount of the Iowa caucus results after the state Democratic Party releases the results of its recanvass.

Sanders campaign senior adviser Jeff Weaver told The Associated Press on Tuesday that the campaign has had a representative in contact with the Iowa Democratic Party throughout the recanvass process. He says, "Based on what we understand to be the results, we intend to ask for a recount."

The spread between Pete Buttigieg and Sanders after the recanvass is 0.080 state delegate-equivalents, according to the party's new results. This would be the closest caucus ever, with the previous tightest race being between Hillary Clinton and Sanders in 2016. The margin in that contest was 3.55 SDEs.

The campaign expects that the already slim margin separating Sanders from Pete Buttigieg for the lead in Iowa will remain small enough that a recount would make a difference in the outcome.
