The Democratic presidential candidates are moving on.

Absent results from the Iowa caucuses because of “inconsistencies” in the reporting process, many of the Democratic hopefuls shifted their focus to the next key state in the election — New Hampshire, which holds its primary next week.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota was among the candidates who arrived in the Granite State early Tuesday.

“I arrived in New Hampshire to see we’re tied for second. And we just had an excellent night tonight in Iowa. Of course, we don’t know the results yet. Minor problem. But other than that, we know that we did incredibly well,” Klobuchar told a crowd of supporters who greeted her in Manchester.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren of neighboring Massachusetts said her campaign workers will begin to fan out to other states despite the uncertainty of the Iowa results.

“It is good to be in New Hampshire,” Warren said. “Our organizers are now leaving Iowa and going to the other places around the country where we are. We are in 31 states. We have more than 1,000 people on the ground. This is an organization that is built for the long haul.”

Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Ind., declared victory in Iowa, despite the lack of actual results, as he shifted his attention to New Hampshire.

“It’s safe to say no one in the country is more impatient than I am to hear the official results from the party. We’ve also put out the results that we’ve got from over 1,200 districts. Our precinct organizations reported based on the procedure they were trained to do. Based on that, it was a phenomenal night for us,” he told “CBS This Morning.”

Sen. Bernie Sanders’ campaign also claimed a win in Iowa, citing its own unverified numbers.

“We recognize that this does not replace the full data from the Iowa Democratic Party, but we believe firmly that our supporters worked too hard for too long to have the results of that work delayed,” Sanders campaign adviser Jeff Weaver said in a statement.

Former Vice President Joe Biden told reporters that he felt “great” after arriving at the airport in Manchester.

Democratic Party officials in Iowa said the results of Monday’s caucuses would be released later Tuesday as they verified results by way of the paper trail but reiterated that the fiasco was not caused by “a hack or intrusion.”

Democrats blamed the problem on a mobile app that was supposed to allow precincts to report the results of the caucuses to the party.

Caucus organizers said the app was difficult to download and contained a number of glitches.

Kate Bedingfield, communications director for the Biden campaign, said the handling of the vote raises “real concerns about the integrity of the process.”

“I think there were significant failures in the process last night that should give voters concern,” she told CNN. “If you have a process where you can’t be confident that the results are being reported are reflective of the votes that people cast last night in the process, that’s a real concern.”

She said the campaign wrote a letter to the Iowa Democratic Party asking it to address the “considerable flaws” in the process.

The New Hampshire primary is next Tuesday.
