registration software with GEM$ vote software, plus a Microsoft app, made specifically for Hillary for 2016, that interfaces with the voter registration software. I believe this app is currently licensed with the DNC and it has been shared with the Sanders campaign.
The Microsoft proprietary mobile app both tracks the vote count and allows voter registration field input of new registrations. This app was originally ordered by the Hillary campaign and shared with the other Democratic presidential campaigns through distribution by the DNC. However, the software remains proprietary which proved off-putting to the Sanders campaign such that they refused to rely on the app for purposes of tracking the vote. This trade secret, custom, mobile app has the capability to query and to enter data into the electronic voter registration database that is integrated into the GEM$ vote compilation software. The app may also have the functionality to accept campaign name lists to bulk verify registration "status" - status details currently not known.
ES&S PowerProfile® is a voter registration and election management application that enables election officials to register voters and conduct elections from a central data store. This system allows for both single jurisdictions and states to manage elections from the same interface. Election officials are able to register voters, check eligibility, conduct election activities such as prepare absentee and early voting, recruit election workers, create poll books and rosters, verify petitions, and maintain voter records using a single software solution.
So, I wish folks would stop wondering WTF is going on and start investigating the root enabler of this chaos.
enjoy!
