Voter Targeting
Two Democratic lawmakers wrote letters requesting information.
“An open question remains, however, as to how the targeting of these advertisements and news stories was directed from the ground,” wrote lawmakers.
They said “it appears that the Russians themselves did not know how to maximize the impact of the information they wanted to disseminate.”
It appears that investigations show that Russia received help from locals. The main reason is based on demographics of the Country.
They believed that it is impossible for anyone from Russia to know about such information.
They wrote “experts have suggested this type of data manipulation could have been provided only by seasoned American political operatives with access to a sophisticated data analytics operation, as well as detailed and granular knowledge of American voter preferences.”
The Senators wanted answers about “‘fake news’ or otherwise — that you knew to have been generated outside of the United States?”
It is clear that Russia had help from within America. Help from person or persons who are well informed about voting preferences.
How did the Commission miss this or did they? If they had access to this information would they reveal it?
The American people would certainly want to know this. Could this be the reason the Commission is being criticized?
The GOA will begin its investigations in a few months. Hopefully by then the truth will be told.
