On ABC they said the delay is because of discrepancy between their three set of results?
The third is calculated from the second and the second is calculated from the first so that doesn't make any sense.

I think they mean the app, some other electronic result (photos were mentioned...of the groupings?) and the paper trail or something.

The Iowa Democratic Party has not released information about the vendor who created the caucus reporting app, but it has said the app was tested by an independent third party. It said top cybersecurity experts advise against releasing too much information because it could result in the vendor being targeted.

Some, including Jones, the computer science professor, believe not being more transparent is a mistake.

Quote

Both parties in Iowa and their app and web development vendors partnered last fall with Harvard’s Defending Digital Democracy Project to develop strategies and systems to protect results and deal with any misinformation that's reported on caucus night.

They worked with campaign experts Robby Mook and Matt Rhodes — as well as experts in cybersecurity, national security, technology and election administration — and simulated the different ways that things could go wrong on caucus night.

Mook, 2016 campaign manager for Hillary Clinton, and Rhodes, Mitt Romney's 2012 campaign manager, helped develop a public-service video to alert campaigns to the warning signs of hacking and misinformation.

It was released in 2018, days after a federal indictment detailed how Russian intelligence operatives hacked Clinton's presidential campaign, the DNC and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in 2016.

According to the indictment stemming from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference, Russian officers targeted state and county offices in several states, including Iowa, to steal voter data and other information.

Robbie Mook was Hillary's 2016 campaign manager.

And Mitt Romney's 2012 campaign manager.

Iowa Democratic Party (IDP) officials say they "found inconsistencies in the reporting of three sets of results," but we're hearing something slightly different from local district officials.

An app that was planned for results posting has "crashed" says the chairman of Dallas County, forcing officials to wait in long call queues.

Every precinct official is forced to call in or email results, and some are sending volunteers to help the IDP tabulate results.

"It doesn't really work," says the Black Hawk County chairman. "No one can reach the state party to report."

This tallies with what one official in Warren County told our correspondent Gary O'Donoghue earlier: she sais she had given up trying to use the new results reporting app and was going to try and ring them in instead.

This is just something the Democrats are using for their internal party process, it's not an actual election. So yes, of course there's plenty of time for them to use it for that.

Around 10:30 p.m. in Des Moines on Monday, during a short conference with representatives from each campaign, the IDP said they currently had just 35% of precinct numbers reported and that due to “user error” with their reporting app, they found some slight “inconsistencies,” according to participants on the call. Some numbers, the party said, “didn’t add up.”

The party told campaigns they were comparing the app results with cell phone pictures of the caucus paper worksheets, where caucus results are recorded manually by hand.

The IDP did not take any questions.

At one point, a participant could be heard shouting on the call: “This is an unbelievable explanation.” Another person chimed in, “I think he speaks for all of us.”

One campaign aide described the call as being “hung up” on.

On Twitter and even on radio and television, local officials have reported hour-long hold times with the Iowa state party while trying to report results.

The Biden campaign’s general counsel, Dana Remus, sent a sternly worded letter to the state party’s top leaders Monday night, expressing frustration with “considerable flaws” in the reporting process.

“The app that was intended to relay Caucus results to the Party failed; the Party’s back-up telephonic reporting system likewise has failed,” Remus wrote. “Now, we understand that caucus chairs are attempting to — and, in many cases, failing to — report results telephonically to the party. These acute failures are occurring statewide.”

Remus also asked that official results not be released until campaigns had a chance to hear more about “quality control” measures and respond to such information.
