The CEO of the tech startup at the center of Iowa's caucus debacle complained last year that key election technologies in the Democratic Party were a 's---show'
for "the uncertainty it has caused to the candidates, their campaigns, and Democratic caucus-goers."

He had especially choice words for Vertica, a legacy system that Democrats used to house their data.
Vertica — which he had encountered while working as the director of product for Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign — was "a s---show from the moment I started there," he said.
