There was no need whatsoever for an app. It’s a bad method for this purpose; it’s insecure; it’s not easy to get these things right. Plus it has no advantage to existing methods. I don’t know if it’s better to think this was grift or incompetence. (Yes, yes why not both
).

There is already a great, deliberate effort to flame the fans of conspiracy riding the Iowa screwup wave. 2020 can be an unmitigated disaster. I still cannot believe that they decided to do this via an app. The levels of incompetence required to make that decision are staggering.

This interview defending the app! It’s so wrong! No wonder it’s crashing. These people didn’t know what they were doing. They didn’t ask people who would tell the truth.

Eye roll merited, but tbh that’s probably still more sensible than using custom software.
