The Iowa caucus smartphone app disaster, explained

quote [ Monday night’s Iowa caucuses were supposed to offer America a first look at the Democratic Party’s frontrunner in the 2020 presidential race, based on the results of the first primary battle. That didn’t quite happen. Instead, after a chaotic night full of errors and mismanagement, the party had still failed to name a winner by the next afternoon.

While party leaders and pundits alike are struggling to figure out what went wrong, it looks like a hastily built and reportedly insufficiently tested smartphone app is at the center of the disaster. ]

We should be doing paper..even for ballots. Cannot believe they were using an app. Leave it to the Dems to turn a caucus into a clusterfuck.
