Miles, Sr. September 9, 1937- January 30, 2020 DES MOINES, IOWA The app that the Iowa Democratic Party com- missioned to tabulate and report results from the caucuses Monday was not properly tested at a state- wide scale, said people who were briefed on the app by the state party.
It was quickly put to- gether in just the past two months, said the people, some of whom asked to remain anonymous be- cause they were not au- thorized to speak publicly. And the party decided to use the app only after another proposal for re- porting votes which entailed having caucus participants call in their votes over the phone was abandoned, on the advice of Democratic National Committee officials, ac- cording to David Jeffer- son, a board member of Verified Voting, a non- partisan election integrity organization. Late Monday night, that chain of events came to a head when results from the Iowa caucuses were significantly delayed. While vote counts in the past have typically been reported earlier in the evening, the Iowa Demo- cratic Party held a confer- ence call with representa- tives from each campaign around 10:30 p.m. Eastern time to tell them that roughly of precincts had reported but that it would provide no other details about the results.
A spokeswoman for the state party issued a state- ment late Monday deny- ing that the delays were the result of the new failure. found inconsis- tencies in the reporting of three sets of said Mandy McClure, the spokeswoman. She added that this was a reporting issue, the app did not go down, and this is not a hack or an in- underlying data and paper trail is she continued, will simply take time to further report the But multiple Iowa Dem- ocratic county chairs said they had struggled to use the app and were experi- encing hold delays of up to an hour when calling into a phone hotline the party has used for dec- ades. The Floyd County chair- man said that he had three precincts unable to report results, trying both the app and the hotline. The cau- cus secretary for a pre- cinct in Story County said he had been on hold for over an hour to report the results.
The Humboldt County chairman said one of its precincts had faced wait times of up to 30 minutes. The app used by the Iowa Democratic Party was built by Shadow a for-profit technology company that is also used by the Nevada Democratic Party, the next state to hold a caucus, as well as by multiple presidential campaigns. involvement was kept a secret by Democratic officials through the cau- cuses. An official from Shadow did not respond to re- quests for comment, but one of the investors, Acronym, a progressive nonprofit company, released a state- ment saying that Acronym was a separate entity from Shadow and that it was still waiting to hear from the Iowa Democratic Par- ty respect to what Matt Blaze, a professor of computer science and law at Georgetown Uni- versity, said that introduc- ing apps in the midst of an election posed many prob- lems. Any type of app or program that relies on using a cellphone network to deliver results is vul- nerable to problems both on the app and on the phones being used to run it, he said.

Christopher C. Krebs, director of the Homeland Security cybersecurity agency, said late Monday evening that the mobile app had not been vetted or evaluated by the agency.
The secrecy around the app this year came from the Iowa Democratic Par- ty, which asked that even its name be withheld from the public. According to a person familiar with the app, its creators had re- peatedly questioned the need to keep it secret, especially from the Iowa precincts where it would be used. That person, who spoke on the condition of ano- nymity because he had agreed not to discuss de- tails of the app, said that there were concerns that the app would malfunc- tion in areas with poor connectivity or because of high bandwidth use, such as when many people tried to use it at the same time. app has never been used in any real election or tested at a statewide scale, and only been contemplated for use for two months said David Jef- ferson, a computer scien- tist at Lawrence Liver- more National Laboratory, who also serves on the board of Verified Voting, a nonpartisan election in- tegrity organization.
