DES MOINES, Iowa — The Nevada Democratic Party won't use the same app blamed for plunging the Iowa caucuses into chaos.
"NV Dems can confidently say that what happened in the Iowa caucus last night will not happen in Nevada on February 22nd," Nevada State Democratic Party Chairman William McCurdy said in a statement. "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."
After a year of wooing Iowa Democrats, 2020 White House hopefuls vying to take on President Trump in the fall still don't know how many delegates they won in the primary's opening contest as of noon EST Tuesday. They are expected to know what happened by 5 p.m EST.
The Iowa Democratic Party on Tuesday morning faulted coding errors in an app developed by Shadow Incorporated designed to help caucus sites report their precinct's alignment and delegate results. Now Nevada, another caucus state hosting the "first in the West" nominating contest, then came under pressure over whether it would still use the same glitchy technology.
