But many voters here still say they’re undecided going into Tuesday’s primary, and are eager for a first-hand look at Buttigieg.

MERRIMACK, New Hampshire — By Thursday morning it became clear that both Pete Buttigieg and Sen. Bernie Sanders can plausibly claim victory in the Iowa caucus, Sanders having narrowed Buttigieg’s lead in the delegate count to just 0.1 percent and surpassed the former South Bend mayor in the popular vote by more than 2,000.
These vote totals—along with claims of victory from both campaigns—came out Thursday just as Democratic National Committee chairman Tom Perez demanded a recanvass of the Iowa results amid confusion about the Iowa Democratic Party’s caucus system and growing tensions between the Sanders campaign and the DNC. Whatever the final vote count, Buttigieg far exceeded expectations in Iowa and arrived in New Hampshire this week riding high as a frontrunner, or a co-frontrunner with Sanders, for the nomination amid the fading prospects of Joe Biden.
