I.T. People: I Have Some Questions About the Iowa Carcasses
...er...Caucuses.
They've completely botched the Iowa Caucuses.
Several of my legions of...six or seven readers work in IT and have had experience with applicable app issues.
So.
Here are the facts as I understand them.
The Democrats decided to simplify the chaos that is this caucus thing by using a smartphone app.
A Phone application: you know, one of those esoteric bits of technology that is basically unknown to the general populace that is never used for secure online sales and such in everyday...oh wait.
To that end, the Democrats hired a company called SHADOW to manage the app that counted the votes.
There was a technical problem and as I post this nobody knows who won or lost, aside from the three or four candidates who have claimed victory in the absence of any numbers.
How does this happen?
What incompetence was necessary for this to happen?
I just...
Gurus of technical support just, explain this...
Please.
Note that even assuming nefarious intent with the goal of botching the caucuses does not absolve the participants of failure due to an unprofessional lack of subtlety.
Again; they named the company that ran the AP that lost the votes...SHADOW which is a company partially owned by a firm named A.C.R.O.N.Y.M.which in turn is run by former Clinton staffers and funded by a big Pete Buttigieg backer supporter.
A.C.R.O.N.Y.M. is literally an Umbrella Corporation that owns several companies that...seem to...exist...but have indeterminate specialties other than to be oriented towards left wing politics and...
Wait...
Why would you name your company that makes voting software and has to have trust and transparency as its highest priorities...SHADOW (in all caps)?
And , A.C.R.O.N.Y.M. what the actual hell?
I just have this notion of A.C.R.O.N.Y.M. helping organizations put their mission statements in their name, with results like
Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion,
or perhaps League Of Calamitous Intent
or Vicious Evil Network Of Mayhem.
But this notion; it is crazy.
CRAAhayhayaZZyyyY! I sai
W hat is going oN?
