6:45 PM: RPI says campaigns were kept up-to-date on caucus locations

Without mentioning a campaign by name, the Republican Party of Iowa just issued a press release rejecting claims that caucus locations changed extensively.

The campaign said less than 1 percent of locations changed, and RPI political director Craig Robinson said weekly updates were sent to all campaigns.

"We work closely with the campaigns to provide the best information possible from the county organizations," he said. "Our process is open, transparent, and we communicate frequently with everyone involved."

The release did not mention a specific campaign, but it may have been referring to a claim from Mitt Romney that a erroneous mailer sent to a Huckabee backer was due to changes in caucus locations.
