- And what seemed to be coding problem with the app.

that was supposed to report results back from the caucuses.

which meant the precincts were suddenly sending back totals

texting pictures of the caucus worksheet.

it took days to nail down who had actually won.

This is one of the biggest threats to democracy right now

and it comes down to a technology problem.

而這歸根結底是一個技術問題。

所以這裡的問題是一個單一的應用程序

to help the more than 1,600 precincts send back results.

Unfortunately, the app was made quick and dirty,

不幸的是，這個應用被做得快而髒。

apparently built over two months for just $60,000.

but when you're making iOS and Android apps

plus a whole database to maintain the results,

當微軟為類似的努力提供資金時

for the 2016 Iowa caucuses, members of the team

為2016年愛荷華州黨團，團隊成員。

said the bill was closer to a million dollars.

The Shadow team also made weird rookie mistakes

like distributing the app through a testing platform

Even when precincts could download the app,

a coding error meant they could only report partial results,

編碼錯誤意味著他們只能報告部分結果。

which then meant the party had to restart

just to make sure the numbers were right.

Days later, they're still sorting through it all.

Now apps fail all the time, and given the shoestring budget,

so people have to wait hours just to cast their vote.

why elections are so underfunded in the US.

Policies like automatic voter registration can stop people

自動選民登記等政策可以阻止人們

from playing political games with voter rolls.

更多的投票站意味著更短的隊伍。

just so everyone can make it to the polls.

and it's because a lot of the people in power
