It’s worth reading the rest of @rabble’s Twitter thread to understand why Iowa’s Democratic caucus was such a disaster. What happened with the app that Iowa’s Democrats used is normal. Our country doesn’t invest in electoral software, because the parties are concerned that if they make good tools which can last for more than one campaign, those tools will be used against them. it’s all about maintaining power. It’s corrupt.
We should demand that Congress fund open source software, free for any campaign to use. Lower the barriers to be able to run a successful campaign. Ensure that software is built to the highest standards—ease of use; security; etc.
