As the seconds pass, and wolves howl at the moon
     Cool summer skies carry wayward the loon
The loon flies haphazardly, jinking left and then right   
     Laterally, haggardly, into the night

The Iowa article states that it's difficult to be confident in the new app's cybersecurity because it relies on security through obscurity, the DNC won't tell us who developed it, and caucus leader will use it on their personal phone rather than dedicated hardware. However, it is not a remote voting app, but rather one of the lines communication for reporting in-person votes to the DNC. It's started purpose is to help caucus leaders crunch math and quickly transmit their results. The article states that the caucus will still have a paper trail and the results will also be determined and transmitted the traditional way involving witnesses, so after a delay we will know the accuracy of the app's findings.

That said, there are two other interesting tidbits there:
-The DNC considered developing a remote caucasing app for Iowa last year but scrapped the idea because it lacked support.
-A result-transmitting app was already used in the last Iowa Caucus, but the votes were so close between Bernie and Hillary that they needed the paper trail. There was sketchiness surrounding this caucus, too, but it sounds to me that the app was not one of the main vote-handling problems. (Found here.)

Habakkuk would probably have worked, but keeping it from freezing in warmer waters would have been extremely difficult, and the overall project cost would have been very high. Britain couldn't afford it, and America already had three bankrupt-the-rest-of-the-world projects going.

I'm curious, what were those projects?

Wow, I did not expect this to ever be found. I'm still willing to run it, if it gets at least 2 landlords and 2 craftsmen.

I would prefer if your first name were a real name. "Autumn," for example.

Edit: Either way, thank you for showing interest!

Those were fun to read!

Now that the game is finished, I would like to get your feedback on it. Was it what you expected? Was it fun? Is there something you wish was added or changed?
