Logistical problems and allegations of voter fraud cropped up in the days leading up to Monday's Iowa caucuses and continued into the selection processes themselves.
Earlier Monday, it was reported that a phone app used to log results from the caucus sites was giving some people problems, as they were unable to either download the app or log into it.
Elsewhere, however, more serious allegations of voter fraud were raised by watchdog group Judicial Watch.
"Judicial Watch found eight counties with registration rates over 100% of the voting age population," the group said in a statement. "The next reliable report on Iowa's registration rolls won't occur until after the November election, as the EAC's next report will be released in 2021.
"It is shameful that the secretary of state of Iowa would mislead Iowans and Americans about the accuracy of the state's registration rolls."
Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate, however, said Judicial Watch's claims are false.
"It's unfortunate this organization continues to put out inaccurate data regarding voter registration, and it's especially disconcerting they chose the day of the Iowa caucus to do this," Pate said in a statement.
"My office has told this organization, and others who have made similar claims, that their data regarding Iowa is deeply flawed and their false claims erode voter confidence in elections. They should stop this misinformation campaign immediately and quit trying to disenfranchise Iowa voters."
Other reported issues around the caucuses, according to the Des Moines Register, include some confusion about allowing nonviolent felons to vote and wrong location information about caucus sites being mailed to voters.
