Hah, outsourcing political "influencing" to tiny "consulting" companies that promise great things but is a rickety AI slop shop in the backend.

I suppose the only difference to the Big 4 is the price tag.

I guess politicians could claim to be hiring a voter research company and profess to be oblivious to the "voter hacking" schemes (hacking the voters' minds to lean whichever way the politician wants them to lean).
