All that really happened was, the results were delayed and so missed the schedules news slots. The furor is over media trying to control the election message? Nothing actually went wrong with the caucus? It just didn't get reported as promptly as the new generation has come to expect.

Apparently, there were some issues around not completing the app with time to get into the App Store, making users by-pass their phone’s security settings. Something like 75% of the users couldn’t figure it out.

I also understand that there were security issues but I don’t know if that’s true or not but it seems plausible for a rush job.

So you’re saying it was no big deal and the media exaggerated the issues? I don’t doubt it.
