Iowa Democratic Caucus Fails Before It Starts As Results Tabulation App Simply ‘Wasn’t Working At All’

New York Post and Monsey.info

An official who was participating in Iowa’s Democratic caucus Monday said the app set up to help tabulate the results simply wasn’t working creating a polling chaos that has each candidate claiming victory.

The chairman of a caucus in Story County told the Wall Street Journal that the app “wasn’t working at all” and people were forced to call results in, leading to the backlog.

“We weren’t set up for everyone to have to use the phone, it sounds like,” Adin Mann told the paper.

He added, “I’m at home trying to get the paperwork organized all the way they want it. It’s scattered all over the room here.”

President Trump jumped on the opportunity to slam the Democratic Party over the failed start.

Results from the caucus were delayed for hours Monday night because of “inconsistencies” in the data, the state party said in a statement.
