Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair Tom Perez said Tuesday that the app blamed for delaying the results of the Iowa caucus will not be used in the remaining primary contests. "It is clear that the app in question did not function adequately," Perez said in a statement. The app was created by Shadow Inc., a company based in Washington, D.C.
