    3 years you've been preparing and this type of crap happens? Take your pick between conspiracy theory or gross ineptitude. Neither looks good in my opinion.

    It appears that some of it is, and some of it isn't.

    -App company founded a week before Buttigieg campaign launched | true
    -CEO of App company endorses Buttigieg | depends on your definition of endorse
    -Wife of CEO employed by Buttigieg campaign | unclear as there are multiple variations of this claim floating around
    -App company donates tens of thousands of dollars to Buttigieg campaign | untrue

    Note that I am happy to find out when suspected conflicts of interest don't exist.

    Regardless its all optics that will only hurt with people who aren't voting Democrat.

    The key issue to me is trying to use technology to prevent fraud. The party seemed to not have vetted the process for a non existent problem.

    We know the Russians are always on the attack but they have never infuriated the process of counting votes.

    Iowa was one of the first states to allow same sex marriage. And they just voted Pete either first or second in their caucus. There are idiots everywhere.

    Using my Des Moines insider knowledge, I figured out why the counting is so slow.

    F@ck that guy, he was part of the conservative media that called Obama a communist/Kenyan Muslim.

    It’s refreshing for him to realize that crap pushed things too far but too little too late.

    Let me know when you have a week.

    I can sit down with you and share some of the absolute catastrophes I have worked on in industry. Just unimaginable **** ups.

    And people trust private companies to not screw up healthcare.
