"As an empirical matter, we're not likely to ever know what the actual result was," said Jeff Weaver, Sanders's campaign manager, who cited as complicating factors the narrow margin, the "arcane" rules of the caucuses, the delayed reporting of some precincts and the technology used to reports the results. The Sanders review may not have any practical effect on how delegates are awarded, but "I think everybody has an interest in making it as accurate as possible," Weaver said.
Yes, everyone wants to make sure everything is completely accurate. ...Unless, of course, you happen to be a member of the party elite with a vested interest in one particular candidate.

So that shouldn't be an issue.Sanders's camp says that the Iowa Democratic Party has informed the campaigns that the caucus results from 90 precincts are missing.
