Summary/Abstract: Electoral analysis is transforming before our eyes. Whereas in previous decades “spin doctors” were defined by their mastery of the audiovisual media environment – particularly radio and television – recent trends clearly indicate that social media platforms and their underlying algorithms have become paramount. We have at our disposal the case study of Romania’s annulled presidential elections, invalidated on grounds related to the manipulation of these algorithms. The conclusion advanced in this article is that not only must electoral campaigns adapt, but the very manner in which states construct and safeguard the guarantees of fair, free, and honest political competition must be fundamentally reconsidered.
