Hello All,
Has anyone noticed that the Democrat Iowa Caucusas malfunction has not actually been discussed much? I mean, every fake news channel is yakking about every knee jerk, grunt or groan President Trump makes, but what actually happened in Iowa?
We are not too stupid to understand it, afterall, in the civilized world (excluding many countries), virtually any person above about 5yro has some form of computer in their hands most their waking hours, so its not that we can't understand the technicality of the malfunction, as we are **ALL** computer literate to some degree. So what happened? Why are we not hearing the gory details of that Democratic phkup?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Here's what I've been digging up, there are some technical details on the InterNet about that poorly written voting software and malfunction and bad voting software strategy design, and there is also plenty of other rather juicy, cheesy, things to gander upon. (Remember the Democrats claiming that there is no voting fraud in America? Aside from that perpetrated by those corrupt no good Republicans? And if y'arr a Republican, y'arr a Russian Asset? Fairly queer thinking in my book.
I should mention that 'Motherboard' has been around for many years, and that their information has been reasonably accurate, in my opinion.
So check out this blue can of donkey worms:
This Is The Buzzy Democratic Firm That Botched The Iowa Caucuses
The following are excerpts from the Huffington Post:
Shadow, a Democratic tech firm, created the app that was supposed to deliver quicker caucus results.
By Kevin Robillard, Amanda Terkel, and Molly Redden
A tech company affiliated with and funded by Acronym, a Democratic digital nonprofit group that has rapidly expanded in recent years, was responsible for building the Iowa caucus app that contributed to delays in reporting Monday night’s results in the first vote in the party’s presidential race. Multiple Democratic sources, including one of the presidential campaigns, confirmed the app’s creator.
State campaign finance records indicate the Iowa Democratic Party paid Shadow, a tech company that joined with Acronym last year, more than $60,000 for “website development” over two installments in November and December of last year. A Democratic source with knowledge of the process said those payments were for the app that caucus site leaders were supposed to use to upload the results at their locales.
Gerard Niemira, a veteran of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, is the head of Shadow. He previously served as chief technology officer and chief operating officer of Acronym, according to his LinkedIn page. In 2019, David Plouffe, one of the chief architects of President Barack Obama’s wins, joined the board of advisers for Acronym.
Acronym spokesman Kyle Tharp put out a statement distancing the group from Shadow, saying that Acronym is merely an investor in the for-profit company.

In January 2019, Tara McGowan, the head of Acronym, announced that her firm had “acquired” Niemira’s Groundbase company, adding that he and his team were “launching Shadow, a new tech company to build smarter infrastructure for campaigns.”
Developer of Malfunctioning Voting SW Tied to Clinton Campaign & Democratic Party
Excerpts from the Chicago Tribune follow:
And then there is this, read the following carefully, else you may miss a salient point:
Shadow Inc. was launched by ACRONYM, a nonprofit corporation founded in 2017 by Tara McGowan, a political strategist who runs companies aimed at promoting Democratic candidates and priorities. McGowan, 34, is married to Michael Halle, a senior strategist for Pete Buttigieg’s presidential campaign, which records show has also paid Shadow Inc. $42,500 for software. Halle’s brother Ben also works for the Buttigieg campaign.
But business and tax records show 'ACRONYM' and 'Shadow' are registered at the same Washington, D.C., street address, which belongs to a 'WeWork' co-working location. Shadow CEO Gerard Niemira previously served as the chief operating officer and chief technology officer at ACRONYM, according to an online resume.
In its caucus night statement, ACRONYM said Shadow has other investors. In a recent podcast interview reported on by 'The Intercept', McGowan described Shadow as a "technology company that ACRONYM is the sole investor in now.” Shadow has previously written it was acquired by ACRONYM.
As of Sunday, ACRONYM’s website said it “launched Shadow.” On Tuesday, the day after the caucuses, that language changed to say it had just “invested” in the company.

If you look at Acronym's "About" page today it says "we invested in Shadow" but if you look at the Wayback Machine from last month it's "we launched Shadow" pic.twitter.com/FM5XVddclh

Details About Shadow Inc. App That Failed
An ‘Off-the-Shelf, Skeleton SW Project’: Experts Analyze the App That Malfunctioned in Iowa
The above link, decoded, basically elucidates that the Iowa DNC hired a bunch of incompentent computer hacks who were the same cats who worked for Hillary Clinton. (remember she took her personal e-mail server off of the secure encrypted .gov server, onto a public consumer server, violating virtually every ITAR law her department for which she was the appointee, Director, the "US State Department" imposes on everyone else in the US and nobody went to jail for that. All of her e-mails were intercepted and are available for public review in socialist Italy in a public museum.) These are the guys who wrote the amateurishly written caucusas voting software and then the icing, the code was not properly tested prior to usage and it miserably failed as result. All of the contendees should be seriously pissed-off over the bad management of that process. And these are the guys that the POC want to run our computerized nation in their socialistic sprint toward Big-Brotherism? Talk about the Mark of the Beast, a bunch of incompetent computer hacks running the CIA/NSA/IRS all powered by Google. Yep, the KGB (notorious Russian Federal Intelligence Agency) would be tipping their hat to'm!, All the while probably thinking, "Those dumbassed Americans! Har har har".
However, if you are like myself and would like to know a little more, here is a link to the actual
software that was used along with MotherBoard's report on it and the security that is currently in place to prevent interference with the ongoing recounts in Iowa:
