An unusual activity report on the Campaign Sidekick app is auto-generated when a survey is filled out by a canvasser some distance from the location of the target voter’s home. The app has built-in tolerances and generates an unusual survey report after taking into account several factors, such as how quickly the canvasser at issue is supposedly hitting doors and if the responses are recorded more than 100ft away from the target door.

Sounds mostly reasonable.

a person familiar with the America Pac operation said: “Sidekick was never expected to handle the auditing of America Pac’s door operation.

Sounds like they didn’t expect Sidekick’s audits and therefore didn’t fake-proof their data enough.
