Tech firm started by Clinton campaign veterans is linked to Iowa caucus reporting debacle
__________
An app created by a tech firm run by veterans of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign is taking heat for the unprecedented delay in reporting Democratic caucus results from Iowa.
The firm behind the app reportedly is Shadow, an affiliate of ACRONYM, a Democratic nonprofit founded in 2017 “to educate, inspire, register, and mobilize voters,” according to its website. Shadow started out as Groundbase, a tech developer co-founded by Gerard Niemira and Krista Davis, who worked for the tech team on Clinton’s campaign for the 2016 Democratic nomination. Niemira had previously worked at kiva.org, a nonprofit that makes loans to entrepreneurs and others in the developing world, and Davis had spent eight years as an engineer at Google. ACRONYM’s founder and CEO is Tara McGowan, a former journalist and digital producer with President Obama’s 2012 presidential campaign.
Designed to modernize a system that relied on precinct chairs phoning in their results, Shadow’s caucus app was seen as “a potential target for early election interference,” according to the Des Moines Register.

Weird how they pick these names for their companies that sound just like CIA operations.
What if TRUMP won the DEMOCRATS IOWA CAUCUS?
Who knows what darkness lurks in the hearts of men?
The Shadow do.
Did someone flush the toilet while taking a shower causing the hard drive to self implode w/ a hammer?

I want to shoot my laptop
“... she’s already been floated as VEEP to add “gravitas” to the ticket”
Given what often happens to those around Skunk Cabbage...
(never mind, I think you know the rest)
Hillary as VEEP? Who would want to be President knowing they’d have a very short shelf-life. I’d give the newly elected Prez a week in office before a heart attack, slit wrists or a .338 Lapua takes them out. The Clinton Arkanicide list is just too long for any presidential candidate to comfortably want to go that route.
<><> The buzz is the internal fighting over Dems botching the handling of impeachment is fierce;
<><> and now the gift of Iowa.
The Clinton connection to Iowa's caucus snafu is icing on the cake.
I wouldn’t touch that cake until we know that this won’t be an issue in every other state in our union. :-(
Why does this nor surprise me...
Demon harpy from Hell.
...Just like Bernie in last night's Iowa caucuses.
The Clinton stink never goes away.
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.
=========================================
I keep wondering how many of our tax dollars went to fund (cough) Harvard’s "Defending Digital Democracy Project."
Also check out the money to Shadow from the Gillibrand 2020.
