Not only is it very secure, it's very easy because when one site makes you change your password you update every other site you've ever created an account on at the same time!

Nah that's because there was a coinflip. He got 3 and then a coin-flip determined where the 8th vote went because warren and the klob tied.

AP posted:

Organizers running precincts for Iowa’s first-in-the-nation presidential caucuses didn’t get to test the mobile app they were to use to report results until just hours before voting began.

Iowa party officials had said they would not be sending the new mobile app to precinct chairs for downloading until just before the caucuses to narrow the window for any interference. Some precinct chairs said they had trouble downloading or logging into the app and didn’t use it.

As of late Monday, the Iowa Democratic Party had yet to report any results, saying they have been delayed because of “inconsistencies” in the count.

An Iowa Democratic Party manual had told caucus organizers that the app was the “preferred method” for reporting results. It listed a single phone number for those who chose to call them in from the 1,678 statewide precincts.

The manual laid out how the app would work: Organizers would log into the app using a PIN listed on their Caucus Math Worksheet when they called the meeting to order. They would enter the number of participants and the app would calculate the “viability threshold” for the site.

Organizers would then use the app to report the results of the first and final alignments, and the app would calculate the number of delegates each campaign won. Lastly, they would take a photo of the Caucus Math Worksheet with the written results as a backup.

the really maddening thing is that the denominator is the total number of attendees, which serves no purpose except to increase the odds of having to pick delegates by coin flips. if it’s just the total number of attendees in the remaining groups, that’s still possible but it’s way less likely. (still would’ve been buttigieg in this case)

this isn't even some archaic procedure that you can blame on the constitution or something, it's entirely up to the democratic party to fix it (apparently the current system is "simplified" compared to previous years already lol)
