Election Manipulation in the USA. Using the Example of Cambridge Analytica
Pre-University Paper from the year 2022 in the subject Politics - Region: USA, grade: 1,0, , language: English, abstract: This paper questions if democratic elections are still even possible at all. The goal of this paper is to explain which methods Cambridge Analytica used to try to influence the 2016 presidential election. In that course, it aims to answer the question if these practices are a threat to democratic elections. The company in question was called Cambridge Analytica, a data analysis and political consulting company which used user data from Facebook and other social media services to manipulate voters' behaviour. It is the 8th November 2016, day of the 58th presidential election in the United States of America. The republican Donald Trump and his vice president candidate Mike Pence are competing against the democrat Hillary Clinton and her vice president candidate Tim Kaine. According to surveys and polls prior to the election, Clinton has higher chance of winning and is expected to become the 45th president of the United States. A big surprise was revealed to the world that day when, for the fourth time in American history, a presidential candidate was elected without actually having the majority of citizens' votes. Donald Trump won the election and took office as the 45th president of the United States on January 20, 2017. But what if this election was possibly manipulated? What if a single company had the power and the possibilities to completely analyse, predict and influence voters' behaviour? This might sound like an idea from a science fiction movie, but it is reality and it happened without the world even realising it. After dealing with the case of Cambridge Analytica, one might think that electoral manipulation using data seems to be alarmingly easy in the digital age.

At the beginning of the 21st century, new forms and dynamics of interplay are constituted at the interfaces of media, art and politics. Current challenges in society and ecology, like climate, surveillance, virtualization of the global financial markets, are characterized by hybrid and subtle technologies. They are ubiquitous, turn out to be increasingly complex and act invasively. New media art utilizes its broad range of expression in order to tackle the most urgent topics through multi-sensorial, participatory, and activist approaches. This volume shows how media artists address, with a political lens, the core of these developments critically and productively. With contributions by Elisa Arca, Andrés Burbano, Derek Curry, Yael Eylat Van Essen, Mathias Fuchs, Jennifer Gradecki, Sabine Himmelsbach, Ingrid Hoelzl, Katja Kwastek, José-Carlos Mariátegui, Gerald Nestler, Randall Packer, Viola Rühse, Chris Salter.
