DHS Chief Says Democrats Turned Down Offer to Test Iowa Caucus App for Cybersecurity Problems; Voters Say the Iowa Caucus Numbers Don’t Add up
By The Blaze. The app at the center of Democrats’ Iowa caucus fiasco wasn’t vetted by the Department of Homeland Security despite an offer to do so, a top Trump administration official said.
During a Tuesday morning interview with Fox News’ “Fox & Friends,” acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf said that his department offered to vet the now-infamous app being blamed for Monday night’s electoral debacle but was turned down on the offer.
“So, our cybersecurity and infrastructure security agency has offered to test that app from a hacking perspective,” Wolf said. “They declined. And so, we’re seeing a couple of issues with it.”
However, Wolf also went on to say that those issues didn’t appear to be the result of hacking.
“Right now, we don’t see any malicious cyberactivity going on,” Wolf said during the interview. (Read more from “DHS Chief Says Democrats Turned Down Offer to Test Iowa Caucus App for Cybersecurity Problems” HERE)

By WQAD. The Iowa Caucuses are long over but results are still being tabulated and released.
The delay in results that were expected February 3rd has many people angry about the time it’s taking to report numbers and what some say is the unnecessarily convoluted way in which it is run.
And the questions are coming from inside the state of Iowa and far from its borders.
The state party is now being forced to walk back their error of giving @BernieSanders delegates to @DevalPatrick who received zero votes in Black Hawk County. Press can dm me. https://t.co/yaS8pXvYM7
