Pete paying 40k to the app company for text messaging service is a bad look but its quite a stretch then to insinuate they would fudge the numbers for him.
But none the less it's a bad look, compounded by the fact that somehow no one knew who actually owned and ran the app company.
Pete doesn't benefit at all from results being delayed if he's winning or tied for first with Bernie. It's better for him if those results are out.
Only conspiracy that would even make any sense is that they were trying to cover up for Biden, but it doesn't look like it's a price worth paying for flabby ass Biden. And that's also compounded by the fact that CNN/DMR poll which had Biden in 4th didn't get released. Again none of that is connected but accumulation of fukk ups makes it seem nefarious.
