Hello everyone, I wanted to make a longer, more polished statement on the Wedgewood mess as opposed to fragmented individual tweets. I felt like it was necessary to provide a longer explanation to fully explain my point of view and involvement with Wedgewood. This is not a legal statement, but I never knowingly participated in any deception For starters, I wanted to apologize directly for any affiliation I held with Wedgewood, whether that is promoting their fundraisers, or even by simply having them on my website. I could easily deflect by saying that Wedgewood was featured in the aggregates or so on, however the way I live my life revolves around one quote from Benjamin Franklin: "he that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else." It is my fault, and my fault alone, for promoting Wedgewood, and for that I am truly sorry. I will put it simply: I trusted Wedgewood, and when you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes. I trusted him enough to take his word that he was a 20-something college student at Boston University, and I believed he was a friend of mine to the point where I made ill-advised tweets saying that I "knew him personally" and that I "knew his identity," when in reality he was a sad, obese, far-right man from Ohio named Andrew who has a history of doxxing others over petty disagreements. Simply put, it is my fault and my fault alone for being gullible enough to trust his word on who he was to where I was willing to compromise my reputation by saying he was a legitimate pollster. Finally, this whole thing makes me deeply sad. When I began my website, I simply wanted to have a place to share my election predictions: and it has grown into something much bigger than that, thanks solely due to the fact that tens of thousands of people trust me. Never in a million years did I ever want to read a tweet calling me an "evil person" over unwittingly promoting a fake pollster. I accept that this trust has been broken by my own gullibility, and I will do everything I can to rebuild that trust going forward. To that end, while I was not affiliated with the Wedgewood Nebraska poll beyond its promotion, I believe this accountability requires more than words. Therefore, I am offering to personally refund, out of my own pocket, anyone who donated to the Wedgewood Nebraska poll. If you would like to request a refund, please fill out this form and I will be in touch with you: electindex.com/wedgewood - David
