The smartphone application blamed in part for the ongoing delay in reporting results of the Monday Iowa caucuses is linked with key Iowa and national Democrats associated with Hillary Clintons 2016 presidential campaign.

The revelation came as the Nevada Democratic Party announced Tuesday it would not be using the same app in its Feb. 22 caucuses, despite earlier reports to the contrary.
The app was issued by Jimmy Hickey of Shadow Inc., metadata of the program that the Des Moines Register analyzed Tuesday shows. Gerard Niemira and Krista Davis, who worked for Clintons 2016 campaign, co-founded Shadow.

Iowa Democratic Party Chairman Troy Price worked as Clintons 2016 Iowa political director. He did not immediately respond to requests for comment Tuesday about the relationship between the party and Shadow, which it paid $63,184 for website development and travel expenses, according to reports filed with the Iowa Ethics & Campaign Disclosure Board.

The Nevada party paid Shadow $50,143 for monetary expenses, filings with the Nevada secretary of state show. The filings provided no further details.
It was unclear whether the Iowa Democratic Party had chosen the app on its own, or had received guidance from the national party. Shadow's website indicates close ties to the National Democratic Party.

Shadow collected $153,768 in 2019 from seven different Democratic or advocacy campaigns, mostly for technology, software and subscription services such as text messaging, according to Federal Election Commission data. Among them were the presidential campaigns of former Vice President Joe Biden and former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, as well as the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, according to the federal reports.

Disgusting. And delusional people will continue to claim that the Democrats have never meddled with Bernies campaigns. Long after Trumps second term they will continue to make that claim.

Democrats and liberals love corrupt authoritarianism when it's their side doing it.

Just like anti-war Democrats kind of got quiet after Obama got into office.

Is anyone other than Trump even running? I thought the GOP was blocking people from running against him.

And are they still her officials? What exactly is the implication here? That they worked for Hillary Clinton 3 years ago and now they *gasp* work somewhere else?

You said only Dems rig elections, I proved you wrong. Reps apparently even do it when it's a total waste of time.

That literally isn't rigging an election. Under no circumstances does there even need to be a Republican primary this year.

Not just somewhere else, but they made an app that WAS NOT going to be used Iowa...

All the sudden they(Iowa) decided to use it...

And now the results are delayed for a supposed coding issue.

They're doing the thing I said they were doing that you said they weren't doing because "only Dems rig elections"

So now that you see they actually are doing the thing you said they don't do, it's not considered rigging

Got it

Also, you're a fucking hypocrite.

Look, you're the one who said it was rigging an election, I'm just pointing out you were initially wrong when you said they weren't blocking people from running. I agree with you that there doesn't need to be primaries for an incumbent, but you should pick your words more carefully.

This isn't my personal opinion.

#DrainTheSwamp


You know, it occurs to me that Im probably one of the relatively few people who have actually drained a swamp. Destroyed a dam mostly with 12 gauge slugs, the water pressure did the rest. Took about a week for it to drain.

My point is, what was left over was really nasty. It was nasty for a while. It also smelled a lot worse. Eventually, grass started growing, and it got pretty nice. We eventually rebuilt the dam and flooded it again.
