DES MOINES, IOWA (WACH, FOX News) -- New reports say former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum may in fact be the winner of the Iowa Caucus.
FOX News reports a new tally shows Santorum received 34 more votes than Mitt Romney in Iowa with some precinct counts missing.
Iowa GOP officials discovered inaccuracies in 131 precincts, with changes in one precinct alone shifting the vote by 50.
The Des Moines Register put the certified numbers at 29,839 for Santorum and 29,805 for Romney, with a turnout of 121,503.
Mitt Romney has released this statement in regards to the new revelation:
“The results from Iowa caucus night revealed a virtual tie. I would like to thank the Iowa Republican Party for their careful attention to the caucus process, and we once again recognize Rick Santorum for his strong performance in the state. The Iowa caucuses, with record turnout, were a great start to defeating President Obama in Iowa and elsewhere in the general election."
