Biden campaign calls for answers from Iowa Democrats after delays in caucus results
The Hill ^ | 02 03 2020 | John Bowden

Former Vice President Joe Biden's campaign called on the Iowa Democratic Party to provide answers about issues that plagued Monday night's caucuses across the state after results were delayed.

In an email to party officials obtained by CBS News, the Biden campaign's general counsel pointed to "considerable flaws" in the caucus system that resulted in both the party's app for reporting caucus results and a backup phone line to fail Monday evening.

"I write on behalf of the Biden for President Campaign regarding the considerable flaws in tonight's Iowa Caucus system," Dana Remus wrote. "The app that was intended to relay Caucus results to the Party failed; the party's back-up telephonic system likewise has failed."

"We appreciate that you plan to brief campaigns momentarily on these issues, and we will be participating," Remus continued. "However, we believe that the campaigns deserve full explanations and relevant information regarding the methods of quality control you are employing, and an opportunity to respond, before any official results are released."

The app produced by Hillary friend Robbie Mook crashed, miraculously right after Biden was fourth or fifth place and Bernie was first it seems?
Could be wrong, but it is rather funny.

“And not until the boxful of ballots we FedE...I mean found down in Broward county gets there and is counted”.

“Iowa...yes we know it’s Iowa, what do you think we are, idiots?”

Understand something, folks...
If the Democrats are willing to cheat this openly against each other, just imagine what they will be willing to do in November.

They gotta get their ballot manufacturing program up a lot faster if they want to avoid a 2020 legal fiasco over ballots turning up the next day... really shoddy ballot stuffing.

After doing some reporting around this, FiveThirtyEight can confirm that the last, unreleased Des Moines Register poll of Iowa really did show Biden in fourth

From Twitter, "Three different sources say a firm called "Shadow" developed the Iowa Dem caucus app. They haven't responded to comment, neither has Iowa Dem Party. The firm was paid by both Nevada & Iowa Democratic Party, disclosures show. Also by Mayor Pete's campaign."

Iowa, you have shocked the nation.

By all indications, we are going on to New Hampshire victorious. #IowaCaucuses

Nevada Dem federal account paid Shadow $58k in August, Iowa Dems state account paid Shadow $63,183 in two payments over Nov & Dec, suggesting app wasn’t developed until just months ago? Both caucus states. Shadow is a spin-off from PACRONYM, a new Dem dark money/superPAC hybrid.

There’s no evidence Robby Mook was involved in the development of this app. David Plouffe, however, is on the board of PACRONYM and has been on cable news talking about the Iowa caucus all evening. Worth a question for him.

LOL! Somehow I doubt that Bernie’s statement used the name “Elizabeth Warner” via an innocent typo.
