The tech firm that created the technology for the Iowa caucuses is made up by a number of former Clinton staffers.
Shadow, Inc’s website, touts that their team is composed of “campaign and technology veterans who have built and implemented technology at Hillary for America, Obama for America, Google, Kiva, Apple, the AFL-CIO, and the DNC.”
The Daily Caller’s Chuck Ross reports:
“The CEO of Shadow Inc., Gerard Niemira, was the director of product on Clinton’s campaign, his LinkedIn profile says.
Ahna Rao, the product manager for Shadow Inc., was the special assistant to the chief technology officer on Clinton’s campaign, according to her LinkedIn profile.
Krista Davis, the chief technology officer at Shadow, was a software engineer on Clinton’s campaign, according to her LinkedIn profile.
Campaign finance records show that several state Democratic parties and multiple presidential candidates have paid Shadow Inc. for tech services.”
Buttigieg’s campaign paid Shadow $42,250 on July 23, 2019, for software rights.
Buttigieg has also declared himself the winner despite no official results.
CBS Chief Political Correspondent Ed O’Keefe blasted Buttigieg for claiming victory in the Iowa caucus saying for a candidate who has talked about his concerns with “misinformation” and “someone who has campaigned on his belief in science and facts, to be spreading incomplete facts is pretty astounding”.
