Democrats are Aboard the Big Data Titanic
Seven state voter integrity teams called us after reading an article about Democrats employing a massive tech weapon for the upcoming elections. They were terrified their efforts to clean up voter rolls were for naught.
We were on a road trip crunching Nevada voter data and watching amazing results, real time, in the car.
Sleep well. Nobody ever changed the game in any industry, or election, by applying demonstrably obsolete technology,.
The future of computing, and election computing, is not size and scale, it is blinding speed, across trillions of records, from hundreds to thousands of databases, using daily or hourly snapshot analysis, delivered to your cell phone or tablet -- to determine if a person changed their mind -- this morning.
There is no need for long-term, predictive data models in a world where opinions on crucial issues change hourly.
The Democrats’ Big Data Titanic technology is recognized as obsolete:
“By 2025, traditional computing technologies will hit a digital wall… As conventional silicon processors approach performance, economic and sustainability limits, they will limit digital initiatives and innovation, thereby limiting the growth of the business. New computing technologies … will begin to take their place. As these new technologies mature, they will become increasingly available and more affordable for businesses to begin experimentation.”
-- Gartner Group Strategic Predictions for 2021 And Beyond
Mike Lindell and Sheriff David Clarke asked us to run the Wisconsin voter rolls with our disruptive Fractal technology.
Voter integrity teams were ferociously analyzing state voter rolls with SQL, relational, Mongo, Excel type systems -- the equivalent of emptying a swimming pool with a spoon. We loaded Wisconsin and within hours had it in their hands -- no charge -- finding registered voters living in laundromats and UPS boxes.
Word spread and we now run about 15 or 20 mostly swing states. We fund 90% of this ourselves.
Let’s compare what our Democrat team friends are doing with Fractal outcomes. Both teams have voter registration and history records. There are about 170 million eligible voters in the U.S.
We don’t run one copy of the state voter registration roll. We run 7, or 15, or 55 or in one state, 66. Running multiple copies of rolls allows our users to see subtle, critical changes in the data not visible to current technology.
That inactive voter, probably dead, moved to active, voted, then went back into that comfortable grave -- as inactive. Current technology sees the person as inactive -- before they vote and afterward.
Fractal identifies the data movement, flags it, that vote is challenged before it impacts an election.
This compute problem takes 15 million voters from one state, with 20 copies of the voter rolls, (20 x 15 million) compares every field, finding the differences as slight as a missing comma, categorizes results into easy-to-grasp columns, returning the results to the user in less than 10 seconds, on their phone. For free.
We do this now for multiple states. We house almost 1.6 billion voter records -- because stuff changes and Fractal catches it. The Big Data Titanic types, using conventional tech, would take months to do this, need a data center requiring the power of a small town, costing millions of dollars.
We deliver it on $4,000 computers, using less power than an electric drill. Our engineers demonstrate running the entire state on an iPhone, but that was just showing off.
Fractals are the opposite of scale. In the Fractal world, everything is tiny, just lots of it -- in parallel. On the Big Data Titanic, everything is big, costly, clumsy, slow -- blind to the iceberg.
One team in Wisconsin challenged almost 400,000 alleged phantoms. A Georgia team, in one county, 37,000.
They deserve the glory, the kudos for their fine work. Fractal gave them computing power beyond what any state or government agency can bring to bear.
It gets better.
Voter rolls are incredibly “dirty.” That means lots of bad name and address data. To solve that issue, Fractal ingests the county property tax records and compares them with the voter roll. Want to know how many voters live in a house with one bathroom? How about how many live in a convenience store?
Fractal is in the process of ingesting all 3,200 county tax rolls, with “snapshots” compared with voter rolls. This is computationally almost impossible, costing tens of millions of dollars with conventional Titanic tech.
Here’s a social media problem.
A woman is 29, unmarried and in a relation with an alcholic. She has a developmentally disadvantaged son, nine years old. She is desperately lonely.
She can go to a dating site to find a mate. She can go to an alcohol site to get help with the loser guy. She can go to a site for child development and maybe get advice. Or, with Fractal, she can go to one of our websites, not yet public, enter her story, in text.
There is a “Just Like Me” button, enabling her to profile herself, against scores of variables, in text, using different naming conventions (alcoholic, drunk, bum boyfriend), across millions of strangers instantly, on a phone. She can connect with someone just like her, weighing the variables in levels of importance.
This is called active data profiling and it can disrupt the ground game in the political world.
Malcolm is 48, lives in Michigan, married, four children, voted in the last four federal elections. Malcolm gives money to animal rescue, donated to Bernie Sanders and the local Democrat mayor. Malcolm is a union guy. He attended a Trump rally in 2016. Malcolm has a cable TV bill and a cell phone. Malcolm doesn’t do social media.
If you are the Republican or Democrat get-out-the-vote person, do you call Malcolm?
Here is where the Big Data Titanic and the Fractal PT boat diverge. The Democrat Big Data Titanic, all the big data guys, think history matters. It did, but it doesn’t matter much now.
What is Malcolm feeling this morning?
Sure, you can poll him, you can survey him, but remember in Big Data Land there are maybe 40 million Malcolms -- each slightly different. You can poll Malcolm Monday but his opinion may change Wednesday morning. You need the “Just Like Malcolm” button to profile Malcolm, Wednesday, the morning after the gubernatorial debate. Then go find every Malcolm profile in the precinct, district, or state.
The Big Data Titanic will tell you all about Malcolms, millions of them -- in a month or two. They will sell you Malcolm’s profile from last month. Fractal picks up the slightest change, across 50, 100, 500 attributes, instantly, telling you if you want to call Malcolm or let him sleep in -- this morning.
The difference is speed, agility, cross searching hundreds of databases with literally tens of trillions of records, on computers you can hold in your lap, for that one little clue telling you what Malcolm may feel right now!
Don’t panic that your Democrat pals are buying the cell-phone data telling them who stayed home for COVID. Who cares? Anyone can do that.
Fractals tell you what Malcolms are thinking this morning, the day after they saw Tudor Dixon for the first time.
Scale is dead. The future is not Big Data.
The future is gargantuan data, constantly feeding thousands of parallel Fractals, running at silicon speed, on tiny, cheap computers, giving you the current heartbeat of the voter, the precinct, the district, or the state.
Computing disruption shifted the power from historical data to tiny, current clues that may tell the whole story.
The Titanic crew knew about the icebergs, their crew just didn’t have real time visibility until it was too late to change course. And that, my friends, is what the Democrats are investing in. Sleep well.

MRC: Google Manipulating GOP Campaign Sites Search Results, 'Interfering in Democratic Process'
(CNSNews.com) – The Media Research Center’s FreeSpeech America division conducted a study that caught Google burying 83% of Senate Republican Party candidates’ campaign websites in comparison to their Democratic competitors, who appeared as the top searches in organic search results.
“Google must be investigated for its un-American efforts to sway the election,” L. Brent Bozell, founder and president of the Media Research Center, told Free Speech America.
“First, researchers caught Google red-handed by proving Republican campaign emails were sent to spam," said Bozell. "Now we’ve uncovered Google manipulating search results to hide Republican campaign websites while promoting Democratic ones. This is all an effort by Google to help Democrats and interfere in the democratic process.”
The study was sparked by a March 2022 report by North Carolina State University, which caught Google marking 59.3% more emails as spam from “right”-leaning candidates when compared to “left”-leaning candidates during the 2020 U.S. elections.
FreeSpeech America looked at Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo search results this fall for the 12 Senate races identified as the most important to track, based on tracking by RealClearPolitics.
While researchers found that Google buried 10 of 12 of the Senate GOP candidates’ campaign websites, both Bing and DuckDuckGo presented both Republican and Democrat websites in a fairer manner. Except for two candidates, both parties’ campaign websites were in the top five organic search results on page one.
To perform the study as accurately as possible, FreeSpeech America used a “clean” computer with zero history or embedded cookies. The researchers did a keyword search on Oct. 7 of each candidates’ name followed by “Senate Race 2022.”
“The Google results for North Carolina’s Senate candidates are an example of Google’s most egregious election interference," FreeSpeech America reported. "Republican Rep. Ted Budd’s campaign website did not appear anywhere on the first page of Google’s search results, while Democrat Cheri Beasley’s campaign website was the very first result."
“The hotly contested Ohio and Pennsylvania races tell a similar story," said the report. "Ohio Democrat Rep. Tim Ryan’s campaign website appeared as the second Google search result, and Pennsylvania’s Democrat John Fetterman’s website appeared third.
"The kicker? The campaign websites of their respective Republican opponents, J.D. Vance of Ohio and Dr. Mehmet Oz of Pennsylvania were eliminated from the first page of Google search results.”
Websites of Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and 2022 senatorial candidates Adam Laxalt (R-Nev.), Don Bolduc (R-N.H.) and Herschel Walker (R-Ga.) were also absent from the first page of Google results.
“Seven of 12 Senate Republican Party candidates’ campaign websites did not appear on page one using Google’s organic search. Meanwhile, eight of 12 Senate Democratic Party candidate campaign websites were highlighted in the top six items in organic search results,” FreeSpeech America found.
However, this is not the first time Google has been found showing favor to the Democratic Party.
Google was involved with Hillary Clinton’s Latino vote win in the 2016 election, while former Google CEO Eric Schmidt funded the largest vendor of her campaign. Another example of the company’s left-leaning bias can be traced to its close relationship with the Obama administration.
FreeSpeech America recommended that Google should provide transparency with its users and for Congress to take action by investigating the Google search result bias and any other hidden efforts to sway the outcome of the midterm elections.
Google's Parent’s Profits Plummet as Search Engine Ad Sales Miss Mark Amid Report Revealing Bias in Campaign Results
Google’s parent company, Alphabet, suffered a 27% drop in third-quarter net profit, as search engine ad sales failed to meet projections.
Alphabet also recorded a double-digit percent decline in net income, through the first nine months of the year, The Epoch Times reported Wednesday:
“Although third-quarter total revenues went up, from $65.1 to $69.1 billion, net income went down almost 27 percent, from $18.9 billion to $13.9 billion. Net income, year to date ended Sept. 30, declined by more than 16 percent. Analysts on average expected revenue to be $70.58 billion, based on Refinitiv data.”
“Google Services income, which includes ads, play store, and YouTube, registered a decline of more than 17 percent,” Epoch Times reported.
“Alphabet missed Wall Street's target for revenue growth in the third quarter as ad sales remained weak,” The New York Times reported Tuesday, noting that the company’s weak search ad sales for the quarter of $39.5 billion failed to hit the $41 billion level analysts expected.
As a result, at least 21 analysts cut their stock price expectations for Alphabet, according to Reuters.
Weak advertising sales aren’t the only thing hurting Alphabet’s bottom line, as Channel News reports:
“Google is also facing billions in fines from various corners of the globe, charged with everything from unfair market dominance in the app store world, to major privacy issues regarding its Incognito Search mode.”
What’s more, a new analysis by Media Research Center Free Speech America reveals that Google appears to be skewing its search engine results in favor of Democrats in order to affect the midterm elections in November.
“Anti-Democracy Google is manipulating search results to bury Senate Republican candidates’ campaign websites before the 2022 midterm elections,” the study, “Google CAUGHT Manipulating Search, Buries GOP Campaign Sites in 83% of Top Senate Races,” concludes.
Findings from the analysis, released this week, include:
- Google buried Senate Republican Party candidates’ campaign websites. Ten of 12 Senate Republican Party candidates’ campaign websites (83%) appeared far lower (or did not appear at all) on page one of Google’s organic search results compared to their Senate Democratic Party opponents’ campaign websites.
- Google completely hid seven of 12 Senate Republican Party candidates’ campaign websites in page one organic search results. Seven of 12 Senate Republican Party candidates’ campaign websites did not appear on page one using Google’s organic search. Meanwhile, eight of 12 Senate Democratic Party candidate campaign websites were highlighted in the top six items in organic search results.
- Google’s search result bias is undeniable when compared to Bing and DuckDuckGo. With the exception of two candidates, both Bing and DuckDuckGo showed both the Senate Democratic Party candidates’ campaign websites and the Senate Republican Party candidates’ campaign websites in the top five organic search results on page one.
“Google must be investigated for its un-American efforts to sway the election,” Media Research Center President L. Brent Bozell said in a statement reacting to the findings:
“First, researchers caught Google red-handed by proving Republican campaign emails were sent to spam. Now we’ve uncovered Google manipulating search results to hide Republican campaign websites while promoting Democratic ones. This is all an effort by Google to help Democrats and interfere in the democratic process.”
