Just so we're all on the same page here:
-Tom Perez packed the DNC with establishment ghouls, health insurance execs, prowar think tank chickenhawks, people with an open and obvious hatred against a candidate in the race:

thread.
-ACRONYM (reminiscent of Google's ALPHABET, like a signal toward the alphabet agencies) who "launched" (and is now merely an "investor" in) Shadow Inc., has since
distanced themselves from the developer. Tara McGowan, ACRONYM CEO, tweeted
this image of the Shadow team. Notice the little Hillary stickers on their Macbooks. Here she is
tweeting her support for Pete's national organizing director.
Here was her reaction when Buttigieg announced he was running for president.
Look, I get it. I don't want to suggest there is a conspiracy at work here. It's not fun to be painted as a conspiracy theorist. And I don't want to suggest they are lying about the results. But how have the results so far been reported? I wonder, are the 62.9% of reported precincts from predominantly wealthy counties, where Buttigieg tends to perform exceedingly well? Is it odd that they reported 62.9%, and not all of them, with no apparent time frame for when the other 37.1% will be reported?
Are we seriously supposed to trust these people, from a political establishment which has made it clear it is running as much against a single candidate as it is against Trump, as wholly neutral arbiters of this democratic process?
From top to bottom, the party is littered with these people. The fact that they chose this consultant outfit with very little credible work to their names, when there are a gazillion developers that would jump at the opportunity to make a killer application that could easily handle a program on this scale, and with better security, speaks to how the Democratic Party apparatus hasn't changed at all since 2016. It is hard to have faith in the process that is playing out here.
