Problems with a new mobile app designed to report results in Iowa caucuses has led to a chaotic start in the search for the Democratic presidential nominee
After more than a year of campaigning and more than $800 million in spending, the results in Iowa had been expected to provide some answers for Democrats desperately trying to figure out how to beat the businessman-turned-president.
Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, expressed frustration with the delay after having told a late-night rally that there were indications he had been “victorious.” “After more than a year of this primary, the field is as unsettled as ever. No one has made the sale or even come close to it,” campaign spokeswoman Galia Slayen told Reuters.
“We had people with their phones on speaker who were stuck on hold from 9 through at least 11,” said Bret Nilles, the Democratic Party chairman in Linn County. He said he had no problems recording results through the app.
