What’s the story behind flawed caucus app?

-

So, what's the story behind the flawed app that was used for the Iowa Caucus? Not only is the app supposed to be used again soon in Nevada, it was 100 percent designed to de-legitimize the primary/ caucus processes and give the very establishm­entoriente­d Democratic National Committee more control in stalling the results . And it is just one more attempt to get the public to ignore or dismiss the results that put Bernie Sanders on top by 6,000 votes:

Tara McGowan is the CEO of Acronym. She's a Pete Buttigieg supporter, worked for Obama, and is married to Michael Halle, a strategist for Mayor Pete.

Michael Halle ran Hillary Clinton's 2016 battlegrou­nd-state strategy and has connection­s to the Democratic establishm­ent.

Acronym invested in Shadow Inc.

Gerard Niemira (Shadow CEO), Krista Davis (Shadow CTO), James Hickey (Shadow COO), Ahna Rao (Shadow Product Manager) are all former Hillary For America staff

Shadow Inc. developed an app that was used at the Iowa Caucus and will be used by the Nevada Caucus

The Iowa Democratic Party, Nevada Democratic Party, and Pete For America all gave money to Shadow Inc.

Pete Buttigieg is the only candidate to fund this app.

Greta Carnes, the former Senior Director of Organizing at Acronym, is now a National Organizing Director at Pete for America. She's from South Bend, Indiana.

Shadow Inc. follows Democratic Majority for Israel, which launched attack ads against Bernie Sanders.

The Democratic (and Republican) establishm­ent is clearly scared of Bernie’s chances of victory. This is not the first, nor will it be the last attempt to sabotage Bernie’s run to the White House.
