The Iowa Democratic Party on Sunday released updated results from the Iowa caucus, showing Hillary Clinton still narrowly winning the state, after results from five precincts were corrected.

Following the corrections, Clinton lost 0.122 state delegate equivalents, Sen. Bernie Sanders gained 0.1053 state delegate equivalents, and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley gained 0.0167 state delegate equivalents.

Clinton earned 700.47 delegate equivalents and 49.84 percent support, while Sanders earned 696.92 delegate equivalents and 49.59 percent support, according to the revised results released by the Iowa Democratic Party. O’Malley earned 7.63 delegate equivalents and 0.54 percent support.

“I would like to thank the campaigns and local party leadership for working so hard on caucus night and in the following days to ensure that our results are accurate,” party chair Dr. Andy McGuire said in a Sunday statement.

Following concerns about the caucus results aired by Sanders’ campaign, the Iowa Democratic Party said it would not conduct a recount of the caucuses. But following questions asked by both Sanders and Clinton about the final results, the party launched a review of 14 precinct results. The party said on Thursday that it was “working with all campaigns on individual concerns they are bringing to us, and addressing them on a case-by-case basis.”
