Democracy faces threats from powerful entities that can manipulate the electoral process, with data suggesting significant influence on voting outcomes. The situation has shifted perceptions of free and fair elections into an illusion since 2012. Historical warnings, such as those from Dwight D. Eisenhower, highlight concerns about the rise of a technological elite capable of controlling public policy covertly, which raises questions about the integrity of democratic processes and the need for vigilance against such influences.
