Shadow: The company behind Iowa app

Still no Iowa caucus results. What does this tell us? Only The Shadow knows.

"A tech company affiliated with, and funded by, ACRONYM, a Democratic digital nonprofit group that has rapidly expanded in recent years, was responsible for building the Iowa caucus app that contributed to delays in reporting Monday night’s results in the first vote in the party’s presidential race. Multiple Democratic sources, including one of the presidential campaigns, confirmed the app’s creator."

"Gerard Niemira, a veteran of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, is the head of Shadow. He previously served as chief technology officer and chief operating officer of ACRONYM, according to his LinkedIn page. In 2019, David Plouffe, one of the chief architects of President Barack Obama’s wins, joined the board of advisers for ACRONYM."

According to this story: "Anna Massoglia, a researcher studying at Open Secrets according to her Twitter bio, tweeted that FEC filings revealed Shadow Inc.’s investors included Pete Buttigieg and Joe Biden’s campaigns."
