MSNBC just said that the app was made available to the precinct captains a few day ago.

I have been a systems programmer/analyst for 30 years. My first programming job was on a 2000 pound mainframe with a 2 megabyte hard drive. I have a few questions.
Was the app tested on a large scale simulation?
Were backup systems in place in case the app failed?
Were the backup systems tested on the same large scale simulation as the app?
Was the app independently audited?
Was there formal training for the end-users?

I have worked for some of the nation's biggest banks, credit card companies, and pubic utilities. None of them would accept an answer of "no" to any of these questions.

UPDATE: According to the Huff Post, the development of the app began in this past November. The incompetence of the people in charge of the Iowa caucus is mind boggling.

Iowa gave Bloomberg a great talking point.

Bloomberg built an empire based on gathering complex financial information from around the world and reporting it instantly and accurately.

70 years later and Will Rogers is still right.

"I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat."

What time does the Iowa caucus end?

5:30 am - watching Michael Moore speech for Bernie. a very good

And effective speech. Passionate, persuasive, and entertaining.
