DHS head claims Iowa Democrats refused to let department test failed caucus app

hanging chads are a thing from the 2000 election

in Florida

you can't make this shit up

Thats criminal negligence

You’re probably spot on

From OP

The Iowa Democratic Party has also said the delay in counting the results is not due to a hacking issue and said that "in preparation for the caucuses, our systems were tested by independent cybersecurity consultants."

Sounding all too familiar, like the DNC hack they later blamed on Russia then Trump.....

Dems also don’t want anyone to see their system, IMO


SURPRISE......

Tech Firm Whose Half-Baked App Cocked Up Iowa Results Run By Ex-Clinton, Obama Staff


An app developed by a Democratic digital nonprofit group that botched the Iowa caucus results is run by former staffers for Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign, Obama's presidential campaign, as well as Google, Apple and former DNC employees.

The app was created by Shadow, Inc., which was acquired in January 2018 by the nonprofit, ACRONYM and paid $60,000 by the Democratic Party for "website development" - which, according to the Huffington Post, was used to develop the app which caucus site leaders were supposed to use to upload the results at their locations.

According to the Post, Shadow CEO Gerard Niemira, COO James Hickey and product manager Ahna Rao worked together on the Hillary for America campaign.

As the Washington Examiner reports, the Nevada Democratic Party also paid Shadow $58,000 for "website development."



The Democratic Party in Iowa declined an offer from the Department of Homeland Security to vet the app that failed during the state's caucuses on Monday night.

The results from the Iowa caucuses are still unknown after an app used by Democrats to report the election results failed. The party acknowledged that “inconsistencies” in reporting meant that the results would be significantly delayed.

During a Tuesday morning interview on Fox and Friends, acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf said that Iowa Democrats refused when the department’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency offered to test the app to ensure its security.

“[We] had offered to test that app from a hacking perspective.

They declined, and so, we're seeing a couple of issues with it.

I would say, right now, we don’t see any malicious cyber activity going on,” Wolf said.



The Iowa Democratic Party has also said the delay in counting the results is not due to a hacking issue and said that "in preparation for the caucuses, our systems were tested by independent cybersecurity consultants."
