Mobile app errors could delay Iowa Caucus results
- lame-robot-hoax 7y agoGuy on CNN was reporting that the app “doesn’t work” and had been on hold for an hour waiting to phone in the results. While he’s on air, a lady finally picks up, but as he’s telling CNN he’s got to go (which he dragged out far too long), the lady on the other end says hello three separate times before hanging up on him. You can audibly hear the click. He then says hello and just goes....she hung up on me.

The PIN to report the results is on the caucus math worksheet: https://mobile.twitter.com/wycats/status/1224558210222186496 https://mobile.twitter.com/wycats/status/1224558210222186496 , and many people are posting pictures of these worksheets. In one case, the person posting picture is Ben Halle, the Iowa Comms director for Pete Buttigieg: https://mobile.twitter.com/bhalle87/status/1224550111725916160 https://mobile.twitter.com/bhalle87/status/12245501117259161...
