I thought you might have some insight about development of Apps. Personally, as an IT professional, I would not rely on an app of this import developed in a short timeframe with as little testing as was reported.

Also, I always request paper ballots. I have seen data not get persisted to a database, bugs wipe out data, and failure to scale cause havoc to name some examples. The risk of reliance on technology is too high and I want a paper trail.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
