It feels like we are leaving out Cambridge Analytica (defunct), Palantir and Peter Thiel who have been busy subverting elections globally through microtargeting for a good decade now. Occam's razor test, would it not be the simpler explantion that during that time they've gotten really good at that versus a pretty complex hacking scheme involving lots of bad actors? At the end of the day Harris lost the electoral college by just over 100,000 votes across the 7 seven swing states, microtargeting, depending how it has been done, would also produce anomalous looking results. That doesn't necessarily make it legal, and if yes, I'd want to know who was targeted, to turn up or stay away, and what was presented to them as the call to action.
