Or maybe someone allowed a secret window to be open just long enough to download some data.
It happens when you're opposition wants the valuable inside info.

Remember the Russian hackers?
But I'm just tossing out possibilities here.

L2 data with HaystaqDNA modeling = Game Changer

L2 HAS PARTNERED WITH THE TEAM THAT PIONEERED PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS.
HaystaqDNA used L2's premiere voter data to identify specific individuals who are most likely to respond to your message. Your organization can use this data to activate potential supporters, donors, volunteers, activists that would otherwise remain untapped.

This is an interesting find, fun n serious.

Seems every word from the Repubs mouths must be proven for legitimacy. Its all a head game to them.

Thanks for the OP.

I just read an article where the HaystaqDNA CEO and co-founder Ken Strasma said that what the Trump people bought was off-the-shelf (generic), and not the full-on customized software solution that, say, the Sanders campaign used from HaystaqDNA.

So, I don't know how much of a difference that makes, but I tend to think of it as the difference between, let's say, if you're taking the SAT and you have to prep.

One guy goes to Barnes and Noble and buys the Princeton Review Cracking the SAT book. Another guy actually enrolls in a Princeton Review one-on-one SAT tutoring and prep service with a customized study plan.

Who's going to get better results? I could be wrong but that's the impression I got after reading the article.
