A fake pollster called Wedgewood Polls is behind it. FiftyPlusOne, which is the revision of Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight at the New York Times, reported, “Last week we received a credible tip from a trusted source that Wedgewood Polls might be faking data. We had received tips about Wedgewood in the past, but this particular tip had something crucial that others didn’t: Evidence.”

FiftyPlusOne investigated by running an identical poll to Wedgewood’s back-end data. They uncovered a bunch of red flags, including unnaturally clean sample data that lined up perfectly with Mississippi demographics, impossible user IDs, scrambled timestamps, and outdated serial numbers.
