You have an app that's a critical part of the voting infrastructure for the most important caucus in the Democratic Party, and yet we don't know:
- Anything about the people who developed the app
- The source code for the app, which should be open source in my view
- Any information about the myriad of conflicts of interests that may or may not exist
Another learning lesson is that your startup can have poor or no marketing and have a non-functional product, but if you are well-connected, that's enough to close deals in certain verticals.
The RNC cancelling primaries is much worse. I'm surprised they've gotten away with it.
Iowa's Democratic Party still has a paper trail of votes. The results may be delayed but they'll at least exist.
On the other hand, GOP voters won't even get to choose who their nominee will be in certain states. Yes, I know the president will almost certainly win these primaries. But why not let people vote?
Sure, it costs money to hold the primaries, and maybe it causes embarassment to the president if he doesn't garner the vote he's expected to win.
But not holding primaries is simply utterly undemocratic.
Haha! Yeah. I remember when my local republican party put an announcement in the paper that they were going all-in on Donald Trump and would not be sending any delegates. Two days later the house voted to impeach Donald Trump.
