Two days into the unprecedented and embarrassing delay in results from Monday night's Iowa caucuses, tensions throughout the Democratic Party are defining a chaotic slog to release the full results. Intra-party friction was laid bare Wednesday as the Democratic National Committee sought to further distance itself from the flawed caucus process and specifically the new application the Iowa state party had purchased as a way -- it hoped -- to streamline reporting. The app was built to collect and report the caucus results, but some precinct officials said they had issues reporting the results of their caucuses through the app. The software

Democrats may want to roll this model out across the country. That way they can claim Trump didn't win by a historic landside.

Yeah it's the "app" just like Benghazi was a "video".

It’s amazing how the guy that has his hand in creating the app is winning. How’s that for starting a conspiracy theory?

Is this the 'app' which was developed by the company whose CEO is the spouse of one of Buttigieg's campaign advisors? The Democrats will do whatever is necessary to defeat Bernie. Notice how quickly the little mayor claimed victory?

They need to do this over.
Mrs. DVC said...."They should try a No. 2 pencil and a paper ballot...."
I wonder if the Dems can manage to make that work?
The problem there is that it is inconvenient to redo all the results quickly and
automatically when you use paper ballots when you are rigging an election.
And finally, how many folks think this was just Dem incompetence?
How many think this is a cover up that "the wrong person" was winning?
How many trust the Dems? Uh-oh. Nobody?

You don't suppose that the Russians are involved in hacking their whizbang new vote recording system do you? Nah, that would be just impossible....

When all is said and done, all I want to see from this fracas called the Dimocrat Primary are the Bernie Bros melt down knowing the DNC gutted them and their leader once again.

A massive fustercluck. This may just be incompetence and I am by no means a conspiracy nut but i really think they are gearing up to screw Bernie again. This should be fun to watch.

This is corruption disguised as incompetence. Plain & simple. The Dems have done this type of vote rigging for years. They have played the shell game too, for years, of seeming to be incompetent but in reality corrupt. Oh, it was just a screw up - we are innocent but dumb. They get forgiven by the public who are snookered by the dishonest media. As noted by others - the reporters were on the ground - where are their reports?

Do it over! In all of Iowa, there has to be at least one print shop that can print up some real paper ballots so that you people can free yourselves from this 18th Century Caucus system and hold a legitimate election.

Oh pleeze. A $63,000 app that leads to Shillary and anybody wonders what happened ? Plugs was forth and that won't do because they want him knowing he has dementia and their VP pick to take his place. I am betting on AA Val the manager.

The DNC is saying it's the state party's fault. Typical isn't it that the head party blames someone else. It's their bread and butter for lies and manipulation.

Darn. This new app was sold as an easier, faster, way to manipulate data for the wanted results.
What a con job by the app sales people. It is now harder than before to manipulate data, darn, darn, darn.
