Iowa is a wake up call.

The turnout was low. A shady company owned by a shady pac developed the app. The republicans jammed the call-in lines. The media keeps calling Iowa to total disaster even though the caucuses themselves went smoothly.

Welcome to 2020.

What was the name of parnas' company? corruption inc?

It should never, ever have gotten to that point.

The phone in line got spammed by republicans.

The phone line shouldn’t have been public. The phone line should have been secured behind a pin code as well. These are incredibly simple, basic things.

The fact that the app wasn’t tested properly before hand and that we lacked a secure backup system is totally on us.

They will ratfuck us every single way humanly possible and in ways we've never even thought of - the election will be a disaster unless Dems get very very security conscious RIGHT NOW and secure the voting devices and phone systems or it will Iowa x52 and the election is stolen and America will just be an idea we remember, having nothing to do with the rw oligarchy in charge.

....a caucus or primary will be conducted.

I've never seen anyone before who set the rules and then complained about how they did or didn't work.

There was some changes this year in Iowa and I don't think they were prepared for the impact of those changes. It was a caucus too. And I think some other things were going on as well.

Keep in mind too, it wasn't all bad news in Iowa. We saw more young voters come out than did in 2016 and even 2008. And the other voters that did come out were very passionate.

I think we are going to see a good turnout in New Hampshire too, especially among young voters again.
