DNC chair says app used in Iowa won't be used in other primary states

[RandySF]

emocratic National Committee (DNC) chair Tom Perez said Tuesday that the app blamed for delaying the results of the Iowa caucus will not be used in the remaining primary contests.

"It is clear that the app in question did not function adequately," Perez said in a statement. The app was created by Shadow Inc., a company based in Washington, D.C.

"It will not be used in Nevada or anywhere else during the primary election process. The technology vendor must provide absolute transparent accounting of what went wrong."

Shadow, a company affiliated with Democratic nonprofit group Acronym, sold an app built to transmit results to the Iowa Democratic Party.

After results were delayed Monday night – triggering uproar from candidates and supporters – the IDP blamed a “coding issue” in the app.

IDP chairman Tom Price stressed in a statement Tuesday that “there was not a cyber security intrusion” into the caucus.

“As part of our investigation, we determined with certainty that the underlying data collected via the app was sound,” he continued. “While the app was recording data accurately, it was reporting out only partial data. We have determined that this was due to a coding issue in the reporting system.”
