Not one thing about changing cast votes. Just helping send targeted messages to persuade people to vote for Trump. If you have something that says Cambridge Analytica changed votes after they were cast, feel free to share. Otherwise I was accurate. Campaigns to get people to do a thing isn't illegal. We all get targeted advertising constantly on the Internet. It sucks and it's manipulative, but that's advertising. Drinking Bud Light isn't going to make me the center of attention at a party, but every ad of theirs sells that image.

Internet advertising has lots of privacy violations, but we don't have a data privacy law in the US. It's gross and immoral, but it's not illegal and it's not changing votes after they were cast or stuffing the ballot box which is what rigging requires.
