Lots of oh jeez Iowa nuggets in this NYT piece that dropped tonight. This one was fatal: Shadow, DNC and state party participated in a mock caucus week beforehand with the app. It reportedly went well. So did it include step of moving data to IDP server? https://t.co/s0jOQJiU04 — PolitiTweet.org

The level of scrutiny and preparedness for a caucus app just goes to show 2020 is a whole different ball game. — PolitiTweet.org

The good news is this time around the social media platforms have explicit policies that allow them to take action on content designed to manipulate votes. And new lines of communication so election officials and others can flag material to them. — PolitiTweet.org

The problem is that an attacker doesn't even need to be very successful. All they need to do is make a claim. Then the online outrage machine goes to work and it gets fed up the chain until it comes out someone's mouth. — PolitiTweet.org

A tabulator should never be connected to the internet, experts like our partners at @OSET say. Smartphones are. — PolitiTweet.org

It's not new that an app will be used to report caucus results. What's new is the threat level and preparation. New by me: Iowa caucus app sparks election security concerns https://t.co/jVrgrqzQUF — PolitiTweet.org

At economics level grinch bots show supply and price too low compared to demand. There are customers willing to pay more. In some ways the bots help solve this. But unfair if regular people just trying to finish their holiday shop don't have fighting chance to pay list price. — PolitiTweet.org
