Democrats worked to suppress voter turnout in 2018 mid-terms

March 3, 2019 by Wayne Creed 2 Comments

Misleading influence operations funded by LinkedIn billionaire Reid Hoffman and led by a former Obama official weren’t limited to 2017 Alabama special election — it continued into the 2018 midterms as well.

This election manipulation was led by the firm American Engagement Technologies (AET), which was founded by former Obama administration official Mikey Dickerson. The firm purchased ads for two Facebook pages, “The Daily Real” and “Today’s Nation,”. The goal was to create a false sense of security, hoping Republican voters to stay home in the midterm elections.

According to a story in the Daily Caller:

  • Democratic operatives, led by a former Obama official, bought ads on misleading Facebook pages to suppress GOP turnout in the midterm elections.
  • The pages appear to be designed to give the impression that they were operated by disgruntled conservatives rather than Democratic operatives.
  • The operatives were funded by left-wing billionaire Reid Hoffman, who previously funded a “false flag” effort in the 2017 Alabama special election.

Both pages appear to be designed to give the impression that they were operated by frustrated conservatives rather than by Democratic operatives.

    Well, I think this is a category of news that I only thought Hillary Clinton fits into. Every time she comes up with another reason/excuse for losing the election, all I can think of is LAME !! That’s the same category I put this in. If an article in Facebook keeps you home you’re not much of a voter, now are you ? The best part of this info ? Someone actually paid someone to write and plant the article, and thought it was a functional way to disrupt an election. Gheeeezus………..Now I know why I have never had a facebook account, or a big mac.

      I would not have a facebook account for love nor money. Social media addiction has far surpassed cigarette addiction. Everyone is always looking at their plastic crack. The more they embrace it, the more I reject it. It actually turns my stomach to watch them get their hits of plastic crack while they eat, drive, walk….ect. I often wonder if they know just how ignorant they appear.
