I don't think the Dem percentages (none / 0) (#1)

in that map are actual vote tallies (unlike the Repub percentages in the county map on the same page). Everything I've read says that the Iowa Dem Party does not release the actual vote count. (Although people are already talking about it, and maybe they will release, but I haven't found it yet.)

I'm pretty sure those percentages reflect the candidate's total allotment of delegates won in each precinct in the county. A hypothetical example: 4 from precinct 67, 2 from P. 23, etc. adding up to X  delegates for Clinton in Fremont County, which computes to 42%.  

There are also caucus rules and formulas applied at some point, so i'm not sure if those percentages correlate in a one to one relationship with the actual vote.

I didn't use the map for the numbers (none / 0) (#2)

in this post. I used the numbers in the alphabetical list of county vote tallies.  I then looked up the census numbers for the counties with the largest number of votes last night and those in which Obama had the largest percentage of win over Hillary.

the MSNBC numbers, and they are presenting them as actual vote tallies. So I could be wrong about that.
