A New Day, a New Type of Election Fraud

Seems like every day, someone is finding new, fun types of election fraud. This is not accidental — this is exactly how industrial, at-scale, organized fraud is uncovered. We call it spiraling to accuracy.

When our team was hired by State Farm, GEICO, USAA, and other top insurers to stop organized auto fraud rings, we found the easy stuff fast — the equivalent of phantom voters.

Later, our analysis spiraled deeper into complex data relationships, identifying real-time, sophisticated, organized fraud. Think of doctor/lawyer/chiro rings, modifying names, organizing fender benders with Ethiopian and Nigerian “victims” ringing up thousands of claims.

When we cracked eBay’s on-line auction fraud — we were dealing not with organized rings, but individual crime entrepreneurs who sold a computer, took the dough, never delivered, were kicked off eBay, changed every identifier, and rejoined eBay with the same scam. It never appeared before on-line auctions. It was invisible to all current technology.

This is how industrial-scale, organized fraud detection unfolds.

That is happening in the election fraud space with new variants — SMURFS, algorithms, and shape shifters.

Exceptional individuals find this stuff — often laboring for months. In Florida two gifted men, Chris and Kris, discovered “contribution mules” who made thousands of donations, often for a few dollars each, in a short period, mostly to leftist candidates.

Deeper analysis shows tens of millions of dollars in illegal, outside contributions coming in, then being carefully redistributed to leftist candidates all over the country. James O’Keefe did a story on it.

Law enforcement’s term-of-art for this criminal endeavor is “SMURF.”

The Fractal team, working with the Florida boys, downloaded the entire FEC database from 2019 until current. That is a quarter of a billion records. It now runs at silicon speed — for every state.

For several state legislatures and legislators, with one click, we demonstrate every contribution mule in their state. Individual legislators can show their pals during re-election time how much “mule money” is going against them. One would be amazed at the interest uptick.

We currently work with several state legislatures and legislators so they can get real-time visibility into their state rolls — contributions, voter rolls compared with property tax records, Medicaid, WIC.

We are often asked to look for “algorithms” in state datasets.

We have a strict test for any election-related Fractal analysis: can it be explained to a 4th grader in fewer than three sentences?

Thus, we leave algorithms to others. We seek “artifacts.” Those are the deposits left behind if algorithms are present.
