Whatever folks posted to register is not relevant.

The gold is in the metadata, and the network of contacts and relationships, browsing history, etc

Do you really think they entered in valid info?

Tracking ip address and other technology tricks are how data collection is done.

I don't think for a minute that my screen name of USS Alaska protects my real identity to anyone with even minimum tech skills.

If you think that data gathering depends on the honesty of the person doing the keyboard driving, you live in a dream world.

In a world where people talk to their devices to start their car, change TV channels, turn up/down heat/lights, there is so little privacy, it is scary.

Think of how little we use real money in today's electronic world, and how that reveals so much about each of us to interested parties.

We are long past 1984, Big Brother is not just watching, he is directing us.

The huge media hype days before caused panic in the Democrat party. Good plan. The Left now has to change lanes again and find a VP that is black, a women, and crowd getter.

That way, they collect their data, and eliminate a TON of work keeping track of and sending out tickets.

Judy, Judy, Judy, Bless your heart.

That is how they do it.

No one is mailing out paper tickets, good grief.

They don't care if there are 10 million sign ups with 10 million people printing up their own tickets.

It was security and lefty threats, that kept people out, not lack of willing participants.

People couldn't get in.

[The process tracks people.

Letting people in anonymously... not a great idea.]


That’s untrue. People are let in anonymously. But they are put through a metal detector. There is also presumably a bomb-sniffing machine. Tickets aren’t required. Those who show up before the arena is full are admitted. The whole ticket thing is a basically a fund-raising opportunity. You are signing up for the opportunity to be spammed endlessly with fund-raising e-mails.

What may be problematic about the Trump campaign announcing huge ticket numbers is that it may suppress turnout. Who wants to line up for hours and hours, only to end up outdoors? Even the people outdoors have to get in line and go through a bomb detector. And then there’s the parking issue. If a million people had actually shown up, parking would have been a nightmare.

Best to keep the numbers close to their chests. I expect that after this left-wing engineered fiasco, combined with what I believe was the campaign’s exhortations to people to sign up to show their support (and provide their e-mail addresses so the campaign could solicit their donations), the Trump campaign will be a little more close-mouthed about future ticket numbers. It costs money to put up these events. To spend big money on infrastructure and have fewer people show up than projected - that was money that could have been spent elsewhere.

....and maybe Polls say Biden’s leading cause people tell Pollsters they like Biden when, actually, they’ll vote for Trump. So Dems shouldn’t laugh too hard....
