Reply #12: Blass is an interesting character [View All]

I'm not in a position to know the significance of Smale's work, but despite the messenger (Fisher), I still find it interesting that Blass claimed to be linked to an effort to manipulate the election. I mentioned this in a previous post and I'm just speculating here but it seems that his background in Math and in particular the types of projects listed on his CV oddly seem suited to the task.

(Again, this is just hand waving) If one wanted to tweak an election on a grand scale electronically, various methods of manipulation would require some ability to identify precincts to target and may require predicting the number of votes to tweak to yield the desired outcome--perhaps even in the context of an actual vote count.
