Hey guys, you done messed up - no more lack of disclosure. Your company will probably be dissolved due to this hilariously well publicized failure.
> The company’s mission is to help advance Democratic causes and candidates, and its employees were excited to have an important role in Iowa’s historic presidential caucus.
That sounds noble and all, but also pretty silly - how was your solution ever going to help "advance Democratic causes and candidates" purely by serving as a drop-box for everyone to upload voter tallies to. The employees at your company can feel excited to be working to support the DNC - but it's really a stretch to claim that your vote tallying solution was advancing Democratic causes. It's like claiming, as a car manufacturer, that you're excited to help advance the cause of addressing back problems because some of the people who might buy your car end up driving to staples and buying a new office chair.
