"A smartphone app tasked with reporting the results of the Iowa caucus has crashed, delaying the result of the first major count in nominating a Democratic candidate to run for the U.S. presidency.
The result of the Iowa caucus was due to be transmitted by smartphone apps from delegates across the state on Monday, but a quality control issue was detected shortly before the result was expected."
"We found inconsistencies in the reporting of three sets of results, said Mandy McClure, a spokesperson for the Iowa Democratic Party, in a statement posted on Twitter.
In addition to the tech systems being used to tabulate results, we are also using photos of results and a paper trail to value that all results match and ensure that we have confidence and accuracy in the numbers we report, said McClure, saying this was not a hack or an intrusion.
The underlying data and paper trail is sound and will simply take time to further report the results, she said."
