No idea. But as for the upcoming super election year: while only the imagination is the limit, I'd bet on the usual stuff (e.g., something wrong with vote counts, etc.) with war themes and some AI thrown in. But no one can still agree whether any of that actually matters in terms of voting behavior. And as polarization deepens throughout the globe, there will be less and less moving voters so the effect may diminish even more; hence, perhaps a "root cause" analysis would be more prolific (i.e., the effect upon elections may be indirect). In addition, I'd presume that the purveyors try to maximize effect by either focusing on those particular themes that become the leading topics in a given election or alternatively trying to change a given focus to some other (false) issue.
