quote [ Monday night’s Iowa caucuses were supposed to offer America a first look at the Democratic Party’s frontrunner in the 2020 presidential race, based on the results of the first primary battle. That didn’t quite happen. Instead, after a chaotic night full of errors and mismanagement, the party had still failed to name a winner by the next afternoon.
While party leaders and pundits alike are struggling to figure out what went wrong, it looks like a hastily built and reportedly insufficiently tested smartphone app is at the center of the disaster. ] We should be doing paper..even for ballots. Cannot believe they were using an app. Leave it to the Dems to turn a caucus into a clusterfuck.

Or, just hear me out, a new app, in order to make things more efficient, is tested in the Iowa caucus. New software is hard so of course it will break, considering they paid peanuts to the developers to cobble it up.
Also, no one is apolitical, so of course a person funding the app would support a candidate. Russian social media disinformation conspiracy theory has more clout than Buttigieg rigging Iowa.
Heck, they interviewed an Iowan stumping for Pete and was taken aback when they told her he’s gay.
