The Democratic Party in Iowa declined an offer from the Department of Homeland Security to vet the app that failed during the state's caucuses on Monday night.

The results from the Iowa caucuses are still unknown after an app used by Democrats to report the election results failed. The party acknowledged that “inconsistencies” in reporting meant that the results would be significantly delayed.

During a Tuesday morning interview on Fox and Friends, acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf said that Iowa Democrats refused when the department’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency offered to test the app to ensure its security.

“[We] had offered to test that app from a hacking perspective. They declined, and so, we're seeing a couple of issues with it. I would say, right now, we don’t see any malicious cyber activity going on,” Wolf said.

He added, “No one hacked into it, so this is more of a stress or a load issue, as well as a reporting issue that we’re seeing in Iowa. But what I would say is that, given the amount of scrutiny that we have on election security these days, this is a concerning event, and it really goes to the public confidence of our elections.”

Wolf’s remarks contradicted a report in the New York Times that the Iowa Democratic Party said the app had been vetted by the department before the caucuses. Iowa Democratic Party Chairman Troy Price also told the Wall Street Journal that he was “confident in the security systems we have in place.”

As for the general elections, Wolf said the department plans to have people in polling places throughout the country, adding, “We are more secure than we've ever been.”
