Anti-Sanders billionaires, behind the app that delayed Iowa’s voting results
By Max Blumenthal
February 4, 2020- At the time
of publication, twelve hours after voting in the Democratic Party’s Iowa
caucuses ended, the results have not been announced. The delay in reporting is
the result of a failed app developed by a company appropriately named Shadow
Inc.
This firm
was staffed by Hillary Clinton and
Barack Obama campaign veterans and created by a Democratic dark money nonprofit
backed by hedge fund billionaires including Seth Klarman. A prolific funder of
pro-settler Israel lobby organizations, Klarman has also contributed directly
to Pete Buttigieg’s campaign.
The delay in
the vote reporting denied a victory speech to Sen. Bernie Sanders, the
presumptive winner of the opening contest in the Democratic presidential
primary. Though not one exit poll indicated that Buttigieg would have won, the
South Bend, Indiana mayor took to Twitter to confidently proclaim himself the
victor.
Iowa, you
have shocked the nation.
