In the world of politics, where strategy and manipulation often go hand in hand, one unlikely figure has emerged as a key player: a magician known only as the "Election Wizard." Under the pseudonym “Election Wizard,” Travis Vernier led a secret online life spreading conspiracies that were shared by former President. This mysterious individual has been hired by both Democratic and Republican consultants to work behind the scenes and shape the outcome of elections using his unique skills.

A New Orleans magician says a Democratic consultant who worked for Dean Phillips' presidential campaign hired him to create the audio for a series of attack ads against his opponent. Using his knowledge of sound manipulation and illusion, the magician was able to create audio clips that distorted the opponent's words and painted them in a negative light. These ads were then strategically released to sway public opinion in favor of Phillips.

On the other side of the political spectrum, a Democratic consultant who worked for a rival presidential campaign paid the Election Wizard to use artificial intelligence to create deepfake videos of the opposing candidate making controversial statements. These videos were then disseminated on social media to tarnish the candidate's reputation and undermine their credibility with voters.

A “big lie” needs a small air force working behind the scenes to divert, obfuscate and defend the absurd claim that Donald Trump won the election. The Election Wizard has been instrumental in spreading misinformation and disinformation to create confusion and sow doubt among the electorate.

In the international arena, the BJP-led NDA is leading in the Lok Sabha elections 2024 outcome, thanks in part to the Election Wizard's covert operations. By manipulating online discourse and spreading false narratives, the Election Wizard has helped sway public opinion in favor of the ruling party.

Back in the United States, GOP candidate Vivek Ramaswamy faced backlash for comparing Rep. Ayanna Pressley to a KKK grand wizard. The Election Wizard was rumored to be behind the scenes, orchestrating the controversy to distract from Ramaswamy's own controversial remarks.

It has become a staple of the weekend wrap-up read in politics: a reported quote from Isaac Levido telling a private meeting of Tories that the Election Wizard was instrumental in their recent electoral success. Levido credited the Election Wizard with using his unique skills to manipulate public opinion and secure victory for the party.

Despite claims to the contrary, David Axelrod, a key figure in two US presidential campaigns, has been advising Ed Miliband with the help of the Election Wizard. Together, they have been working behind the scenes to shape the political landscape and influence public perception.

In the aftermath of a contentious election, rumors began circulating that poll challengers were locked out of a Michigan vote counting center and windows were covered to conceal fraudulent activity. Many videos emerged showing chaos and confusion, with the Election Wizard suspected of orchestrating the chaos to create doubt and undermine the election results.
