The IDP & DNC should state that the exact SDE results are unreliable, & cannot be used to allocate national delegates.
There is no "right" result to be discovered here.
It'd be a mirage of certainty or a performance of accuracy, like when polls pile on decimals.

Some reported results are verifiably incorrect but also uncorrectable. Turnout #s don't match. Too late to ask viable groups to not realign.
But this does NOT allow IDP to leave up correctable nonsense. 31 is not superior to 50; precincts can't will themselves extra delegates.

IDP's verifiably fantastical numbers cannot remain in a final result.
We can also no longer cling to conforming fantasy of a discoverable accurate result.
And here's the thing: thats doable. No practical need for one certain winner; & other solutions for pledged delegates.

To allocate the national pledged delegates, you can use the popular results.
If too controversial/undoable at this point, @DavidNir has proposed using Iowa's already scheduled primary in June to run a primary & decide national delegates.
And other options.

Coda on why ship has long sailed on reaching accurate SDEs. It's not just some inaccurate results are uncorrectable at this point. Also correcting some per the rules would require IDP to do new coin tosses.
Which seems untenable.
Example below has both.
