As far as I can tell, you're being intentionally uncharitable. There's a difference between doing work in isolation that a politician uses for their own political goals and doing work that specifically and intentionally helps a politician on their request.
If you were to drop all of your ongoing side projects to work with a political candidate that asked for your help, would you really try to argue that you're not at least somewhat tied to that candidate?

Not if they were willing to do so regardless of the candidate's party or political agenda.

So far it seems like innuendo rather than evidence. > If you were to drop all of your ongoing side projects to work with a political candidate that asked for your help, would you really try to argue that you're not at least somewhat tied to that candidate? Yes, but that’s not what is happening here. They aren’t working with anyone, and providing data on NJ is as much a primary goal of their project as providing data on CA. It is possible that they have a party affiliation or bias but responding to a publicly visible data request from a candidate doesn’t seem to provide any evidence for that.
