Shadow and Acronym have been far from neutral in the Democratic primary. Shadow was launched by former staffers to Hillary Clinton. Buttigiegs campaign, which paid the company $42,500 for software-related services
McGowan is married to Michael Halle, senior strategist with the Buttigieg campaign. There is no evidence any preference of candidates had any effect on the coding issue that is stalling the Iowa results. top officials at the company regularly expressed hostility to Sen. Bernie Sanderss supporters.

No ...... REALLY ......
Shadow and Acronym are perfectly innocent, American names for legitimate companies, just trying to make a buck.

When you see how far they will go to rig their own primary imagine how far they are going to be willing to go in November.

the Iowa Democratic Party asked that the apps name be kept secret. The New York Times reported that its creators had repeatedly questioned the need to keep it secret. Yeah, the original name, "ScruBernie" was a little impolitic.
