2012 Democratic Party Leak Scandal

The 2012 Democratic Party Leak Scandal took place on August 7th, 2021. The event involved an anonymous individual infiltrating the Democratic National Convention and photocopying every message sent since the beginning of the server.



Political Fallout
The fallout of this, combined with the popularity of Donald J. Trump during the 2012 Presidential Election, allegedly caused the Democratic National Convention to lose the election, despite it being increasingly competitive. However, many people attribute to the spike in turnout and the closeness of the race to alleged voter fraud orchestrated by the Green Party candidate- Harambe- which led to many votes being deleted and investigated. Some allege that Harambe also created additional fake votes for both major party candidates to mask his own wrongdoing.

Harambe was later banned due to the accusations by administrators but was pardoned by Donald Trump shortly after his inauguration, but was later banned again after voter fraud continued. Even after Harambe was banned, fake votes kept being submitted into ballots, which led to an admin crackdown which led to the bans of individuals who were potentially affiliated with Harambe. Afterwards, the United States of America switched to using a custom voting solution by the name of EasyVote (adapted from BallotBot) for all Presidential elections.

Accusations
Although it is unconfirmed, many Democratic Party members pointed the blame squarely at Wolfgang Night, who was present in the server where the leak occurred. In many of the photographs leaked, a tab was present that displayed the member list of the server, of which Wolfgang Night was marked online under the role "Democrat," of which Wolfgang Night is not. Under Discord, a member will not appear on the member list if they are not given access to the channel, which likely meant that Wolfgang somehow gained access to the closed channels. Later on, it was discovered that there was a reaction role set up in a channel which gave/removed the access role in one of the server's public channels. Evidence from the audit log also supports the hypothesis that Night gained access through receiving the access role.
