We'll never really know who won. Too many votes were literally lost.
Quote:
The Iowa Republican Party on Thursday officially called the state caucus a tie between Santorum and Romney even though Santorum received 34 more votes – 29,839 to 29,805 for the former Massachusetts governor. Romney was initially declared the winner by a mere 8 votes.
The Iowa Republican Party, however, decided to call the vote a tie because the tally from eight precincts are inexplicably missing. The result: no one really knows who won what was clearly a very close election.
