NEW statement from @iowademocrats -- "While the app was recording data accurately, it was reporting out only partial data. We have determined that this was due to a coding issue in the reporting system."

Somebody needs to learn to code

@iowademocrats now say: "....the app was recording accurately, but reporting out only partial data.
We have determined that this was due to a coding issue in the reporting system."

"A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE IOWA CAUCUS DEBACLE UP CLOSE:
Iowa’s Republican and Democratic Parties and their app and web development vendors partnered last fall with
(cough) Harvard’s "Defending Digital Democracy Project" to develop strategies and systems to protect results and deal with misinformation.

The group included party "campaign experts" Robby Mook and Matt Rhodes,
and experts in (A) cybersecurity, (B) national security, (C) technology and (D) election administration.

Fortuitously, the group simulated different ways "things could go wrong" on caucus night. (cue maniacal laugh machine here).

Mook is 2016 campaign manager for Hillary Clinton, and Rhodes is Mitt Romney’s 2012 campaign manager.

Out of sheer public-spiritededness, they helped develop a video to alert campaigns to warning signs of hacking and misinformation.

Probably some Russian coders. Putin strikes😂

There are no votes to count

Just people huddled into corners

[Flaming Conservative]

Gee, maybe they should “learn to code”!

[jimjohn]

As a software guy who regularly works the polls in elections - these answers are BS.
I’m sure every precinct counted every vote.

Each of the major candidates should have had their people watching.

Get on the phone call the precinct captains. Report the results to the folks in Des Moines - with the press present.

Use calculator.

Give Totals.

P.S. NEVER, EVER, EVER trust any digital ballot counting. That election will be determined by the person who has access to the database.

Maybe the super secret hack job to rob Bernie collided with the super secret hack job to rob Warren.
Has anyone seen Hillary lately?

[dfwgator]

Learn to code!

[BuffaloJack]

This is what happens when habitual cheaters try to cheat each other.

[jaydubya2]

They should power it off, wait 10 seconds, and power it back on.

[Diogenesis]

Having the program remove select votes WAS the plan.

NOW the DNC is ready for the federal "election".

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Should have used an Outer Join.

[MCSETots]

Schift’s initial investigation has found indisputable evidence that Trump did it.

[ThunderSleeps]

"...recording data accurately..."

Given the democrats' demonstrated proclivities towards putting their fingers on the scales to get what they want...anyone else find that claim just a bit hard to believe?

[grimalkin]

I ride an elephant to work and married an eskimo.

[montag813]

Why was an “app” even necessary? One of the more charming things about the otherwise retarded Iowa Caucus was the collaborative get-togethers where citizens participated directly and hashed it out over an entire day of debate. It wasn’t broke, so why try to fix it...unless the goal was to FIX it?

Testing is overkill. TIP Test in Production.

[SunkenCiv]

Since it was reporting out only partial data, it wasn't recording data accurately. What mealy-mouthed liars.

[Covenantor]

must have been the new crop of "coders"...they learn so fast.....
