The Iowa Caucus is an excellent reminder of why important elections should be run by trained, skilled, and experienced state and local election administrators, not political parties.

Connecticut Secretary of the State Denise Merrill said in response to the app-issues that delayed the Iowa Caucus results on Tuesday. Merrill assured Connecticut voters that they can have “confidence” in the state and that the state’s “reliance on paper is our best defense against threats to our cybersecurity.” (The Hartford Courant — February 4, 2020)
