Remember back when former FCC chair Tom Wheeler surprised us all and turned out not to be a dingo. That was cool. But now that he's out of government and working at the Brookings Institution, he's perhaps not a dingo, but he does seem very, very confused.

He's written a very strange piece entitled Technology, tribalism, and truth, which sounds like it should be interesting, but turns out to be quite a head-scratcher. It starts out talking about the vote counting fiasco at the Iowa caucus caused by faulty technology, and how it could "sow seeds of doubt about the functioning of democracy itself." As we wrote in our piece about it -- that's not exactly a reasonable lesson to take from the fact that using software meant that votes were counted later than people had hoped. There are plenty of other concerns about the functioning of democracy itself that can come out of the Iowa caucus process -- but those have little to do with the faulty software.
