Except the whole debacle springs from a spectacular series of software failures, making this somewhat relevant.
How bad can a few bugs be? Bad enough to destroy the hopes of 7 presidential contenders making it to the White House?
Maybe that’s an overstatement, but it makes the party look incompetent, and by association, all the nominees. What does it take to convince someone not to vote? How about “they’ll probably just mess up your vote anyway, look at Iowa”. And yes, that’s a dumb statement, and no, as we’ve seen that doesn’t make it unconvincing one. The narrative is key, and the narrative is bad. And it was a poorly implemented piece of software that caused it.
Seems like something worth talking about.
