A company called Median Strategies dropped fake election polls—claimed by LA Mayor Karen Bass’s campaign and shared widely online—only to be exposed as a social experiment in misinformation. The poll makers admitted they created the bogus data to test how easily fake info spreads, then shut down their site after backlash. Experts warn this isn’t an isolated case—it’s part of a growing problem that erodes public trust in elections and makes it harder for voters to know what’s real. Without transparency on methodology and sources, any poll can look legit—even when it’s entirely made up.
