I also don't believe the production of a biased vote is legal. But gerrymandering is legal. At least, when Republicans do it. So was what Cambridge Analytica did with FB. At least, when Republicans do it. The Facebook–Cambridge Analytica data breach occurred in early 2018 when millions of Facebook users' personal data was harvested without consent by Cambridge Analytica to be predominantly used for political advertising. [1] This data breach was the largest known leak in Facebook history. [2] The data was collected through an app created by Dr. Aleksandr Kogan (at the time Dr. Aleksandr Spectre), a Cambridge academic, in 2013 and consisted of a series of questions to build psychological profiles on users. [3] The app not only harvested the personal data of the users that completed the questions, but also of the users’ Facebook friends. [3] Cambridge Analytica sought to sell the data of American voters to political campaigns and ultimately provided assistance and analytics to the Ted Cruz and Donald Trump campaigns. [2] [4] The data breach was disclosed in 2018 by Christopher Wylie, a former Cambridge Analytica employee, in interviews with The Guardian and The New York Times. [5] In response, Facebook apologized for their role in the data harvesting and their CEO Mark Zuckerberg testified in front of Congress. [5] These happenings sparked an online movement #DeleteFacebook, which trended on Twitter. [6] continues at en.wikipedia.org

You are short on details. How is it designed to do that? The demographic the applications are sent to tend to lean towards Trump, anyway. So what is getting your panties in a bunch?

>>The mail-in ballot is designed to get people of a political particular leaning to vote.<< Really? If one is sent to all eligible voters, how does it do that?

Absentee ballots make it easier to vote. That's a good thing. The mail-in ballot is designed to get people of a political particular leaning to vote. Wrong. People of every political stripe like convenience and safety. That's why a lot of Republicans are complaining about Trump's campaign against voting by mail. I do not believe getting the uninformed to vote is a worthy endeavor. You're an example of that ... you're uninformed of Republicans liking voting by mail because you only know what the ignorant Trump tells you.
