Nevada is a "No" on George Soros Shadow Inc. Vote Manipulator App

 

App That Shadow Inc. Designed for Nevada Caucus Is Also Flawed: Report

 

The app designed by Shadow, Inc. to report results in the upcoming Nevada Caucus experienced technical malfunctions in testing even before the company’s Iowa app caused severe delays in reporting that state’s results, Vice’s Motherboard reported on Friday.

 

Nevada Democratic Party volunteers had been testing the app since early January and up to this week. When volunteers attempted to submit results for the first alignment, the app presented an “error” message.

 

“Because the deadline for the Nevada app was later, Shadow’s Nevada app was still in beta testing, and that testing identified some errors that were being fixed,” a company spokesperson told Motherboard. The spokesperson said the app had been on track for a “successful rollout.”

 

Nevada will hold its caucus on February 22. After the results of the Iowa Caucus were delayed by systemic technical malfunctions with the Democratic Party’s reporting app, Nevada Democrats announced they would not use the app built for them by Shadow.

“NV Dems can confidently say that what happened in the Iowa caucus last night will not happen in Nevada on February 22,” Nevada State Democratic Party Chair William McCurdy said on Tuesday. “We will not be employing the same app or vendor used in the Iowa caucus. We had already developed a series of backups and redundant reporting systems, and are currently evaluating the best path forward.”

Ex-Google Engineer And Silicon Valley Tech Money Tied To Shadow, The App That Brought Chaos To The Iowa Caucus

 

The smartphone app maker that caused a major delay in reporting results during Iowa’s Democratic caucus is connected to Democratic presidential candidates and Silicon Valley veterans anxious to implement cutting-edge election technology to stymie a Trump re-election.

 

The app that was supposed to count and report caucus results was created by Shadow Inc., a for-profit tech company cofounded in February 2019 by former Google engineer Kirsta Davis and Gerard Niemira, an engineer who worked at San Francisco microlender Kiva.org. Both later worked on Hillary Clinton’s failed 2016 presidential campaign. Washington D.C.-based Shadow was acquired last year by Acronym, a nonprofit also based in D.C. and founded in March 2017 by former journalist Tara McGowan to advance “progressive causes through innovative communications, advertising and organizing programs.” It has an affiliated political action committee called Pacronym.

 

Silicon Valley heavyweights make up the liberal-leaning roster of Pacronym’s backers. One supporter is billionaire Michael Moritz, a partner at Sequoia Capital, whose net worth of $4.1 billion stems from his early bets on Google, LinkedIn and PayPal. According to Federal Election Committee data, he gave $1 million to Pacronym, or 12.8% of the $7.8 million that it has raised since early 2019.

 

Other Silicon Valley backers include Kenneth Duda, chief technology officer of computer networking company Arista Networks, who also gave $1 million to the committee. Jim Swartz, cofounder of venture firm Accel, gave $400,000, while John Fisher, a venture capitalist at Draper Fisher Jurvetson, contributed $100,000 to the committee. Josh Tetrick, founder of troubled food startup Hampton Creek contributed $254 to the committee. CNBC first reported on the PAC’s contributors. It is unclear whether these contributions funded Shadow. These donors did not respond to a request for comment.
