Trump Voter Turnout App Was Made in Ukraine

Superfeed — an app tied to Turning Point USA — is central to the GOP’s mobilization strategy in Arizona and Wisconsin. It was also developed by a team based in Kyiv, Ukraine.

If Donald Trump wins in November, he may owe his victory to a software development team in Ukraine — a country he’s signaled he’ll abandon in its struggle against Russia.

In Wisconsin and Arizona, Republicans are counting on getting voters to the polls with an app that MAGA activist group Turning Point USA has deployed in both of the swing states, as the Associated Press recently reported.

The articles noted close ties between the leadership at Turning Point — co-founded by GOP convention speaker Charlie Kirk — and app developer Superfeed. The AP also noted the skepticism among veteran Republican operatives about the app’s strategy of targeting those who are least likely to vote.
