The Shadow app was responsible for the delay to the Iowa caucus results, and here's why.
, he said this has nothing to do with hacking. It’s simply faulty technology. “As precinct caucus results started coming in, the IDP ran them through an accuracy and quality check. It became clear that there were inconsistencies with the reports. The underlying cause of these inconsistencies was not immediately clear, and required investigation, which took time,” Price said. Apparently, the app was only reporting out some data, but not all of it, because of a coding error.
Price claims the issue has been identified and fixed, and that it hasn’t impacted the precinct chairs’ ability to report accurate results — which is a good thing, considering this same technology is meant to be used in Nevada come voting day. “While our plan is to release results as soon as possible today, our ultimate goal is to ensure that the integrity and accuracy of the process continues to be upheld,” Price said.
While everyone awaits Iowa results with baited breath, it remains to be seen how the controversy surrounding the app will be handled — especially when the same flawed technology is supposed to be used in other primary processes around the corner.
