CNN has confirmed that Shadow Inc. is behind the app that Iowa precinct chairs struggled with last night, and the same app is expected to be deployed in Nevada. cnn.com/2020/02/04/pol…
Update: Both Buttigieg’s campaign and the Texas Democratic Party acknowledge they hired Shadow, but only for the company’s text messaging voter contact service: cnn.com/2020/02/04/pol…

FEC records also show that Shadow has been used by Biden, Gillibrand and Wisconsin Dems.
I visited Shadow Inc.’s address listed in the Iowa Dems’ disclosure filings. It led to a WeWork in this trendy Washington alley (steps from Maydan and La Colombe). But a receptionist told me Shadow moved out last month to an unknown destination. ??? cnn.com/2020/02/04/pol…
Meanwhile, we’re beginning to get comments from others who have used Shadow’s products, including Buttigieg’s campaign, Texas Dems and Wisconsin Dems. They all say they hired Shadow only for its voter texting service: cnn.com/2020/02/04/pol…
But it seems Shadow’s experience in technology may be rather limited beyond that. One Democratic official told me their conversations with Shadow suggested software development was “not their area of expertise”: cnn.com/2020/02/04/pol…
Our own look at the LinkedIn profiles of some of Shadow’s employees seems to underscore that impression. cnn.com/2020/02/04/pol…
And now the Nevada Democratic Party confirms it won’t use Shadow’s app to power its Feb. 22 caucuses: cnn.com/2020/02/04/pol…

FEC data shows Nevada Dems already paid Shadow $58,000.
Shadow finally speaks — confirming it built the app and conceding the app's process to transmit results to the Iowa Dems was flawed
