The Democrat presidential campaigns of Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg paid the firm that reportedly built the failed Iowa caucus app that partly rendered the results of the caucus unavailable at the end of Monday night’s contest. In the absence of results, Buttigieg declared victory and the other candidates including Biden portrayed confidence.
Buzzfeed confirmed, including with a presidential campaign, that the firm Shadow built the app that frustrated Democrat vote counters, rendering it technically impossible for some to register the results in their area and forcing direct calls to the state party office in Des Moines.
The firm Shadow Inc. accepted a $1,225 payment from the Joe Biden campaign for “text messaging,” and two payments totaling $42,500 from South Bend mayor Pete Buttigieg’s campaign for “software rights and subscriptions”, according to a Federal Election Commission filing. The Shadow firm was also paid by Kirsten Gillibrand’s failed presidential campaign and the state Democrat parties of Iowa, Texas and Nevada.

Also, it's interesting how there were so many news articles about Iowa bracing for "record turnout" yesterday, with Democratic voters desperate to show their support for "anyone but Trump." Examples:

Turns out that caucus attendance was in fact a record. A record low.

Each side has examples of such people xD. If we want to cherry pick those examples and make it represent the entire group, then I'm sure there are a few more compilations that will be posted soon enough.

Not that there's any Democratic candidate with a chance of winning* who doesn't scare me.
* = Biden appears to be slipping badly.

he's been polling no more than 15% all year... he claimed victory before any results were reported, by the company he gave ~$45K to, which is also tied to Clinton, in a DNC process that's already committed fraud/rigging in order to keep Bernie, who is leading most polls, from getting a win.
