One thing that's important to stress about Iowa is that everybody at the caucus events learns the outcome. The statewide result could be reconstructed even if there weren't a paper trail, but there is also a very thorough paper trail. The integrity of the election is not in doubt

I don't think the app itself was part of a conspiracy. I'm a developer myself so I know that catastrophe was actually a very likely outcome. But once it's already a mess, could someone use that opportunity to nudge a few points by refusing to correct math errors?

I don't think so, for this reason: the errors also seem 'organic', they are correctable, and the main benefit to candidates out of Iowa is not the mathematical result, or the tiny delegage count, but the press coverage. So nudging the election from candidate A to B is not helpful
