So at the very least, this means a TON of extra work for the marketing team at Trump HQ just to clean up the data (somehow) and make it usable. At worst, it means they toss it. And trust me on this: Trump may stiff contractors, but he ain’t stiffing them.

That team keeps the money hose working. They are absolutely getting paid. So imagine if you spent a ton of money setting up a rally and getting the devops in place to collect marketing data (least you think those systems are cheap, they are not) and then...

A few hundred thousand tech-savvy teenage trolls showed up to ratfuck you. I can’t think of any better example of the power of the people in the modern world than this.

Quick PS to this thread: part of the reason that this is so genius is because Trump HQ likes to shill for donations by email. Allow me to enlighten you to how much time and money you have to spend on good, large scale email campaigns in order to get results.

Answer: A FUCKTON. And you live an die on the accuracy of your mailing list. Fake emails are the bane of your life.

Trump HQ now have to face whether they can drop $insert-ridiculous-money-here to run an email campaign on this dataset that is almost certainly 90% worthless and for which they may not be able to filter out the real registrations.

Again: without known good data to use as a filter, they can’t tell which is a fake registration and which is one from a voter they haven’t got on their lists yet. And Trumpikins desperately needs to get to those voters.
