Instead, the Romney campaign did what many corporations have done in tight times—it kept its IT budget in check and heavily outsourced technology relative to its budget, keeping only a few strategic efforts in-house.
If the parties are smart (something they rarely show evidence of) they would be developing these systems now, long before the pressure of a campaign and keep them online for continual development and testing.
