UKs Channel 4 news blows the lid on voter suppression techniques thought to be employed by the Trump campaign in 2016 to deter groups of black people from voting in Key swing states. They used Market Research databases to find out economic and domestic information about people before targeting them with ads on Facebook. Again this highlights to me that out current Governance/Electoral systems are ill equipped for the digital age. "Donald Trump’s 2016 US presidential election campaign has been accused of actively seeking to deter 3.5 million black Americans in battleground states from voting by deliberately targeting them with negative Hillary Clinton ads on Facebook. The secret effort concentrated on 16 swing states, several narrowly won by Trump after the black Democrat vote collapsed. The claims have come from an investigation by Channel 4 News, which was leaked a copy of a vast election database it says was used by the Trump campaign in 2016."
