This would look into the troll culture that has been in the internet. This has mainly been around because of the anonymity that the internet can give to a user. With this as a bonus that would explain how comments can be said without consequence no matter the topic, can be infested by trolls that might make fun off or tease the topic into annoying people. This culture has now also affected their political values that we would have.
In my opinion I think that the culture of trolling isn't as much of a threat as people like this article make it seem. Although they may have their reasons for doing these actions, it just shows how reasoning with people has now gone if trolls can influence undecided voters into which side they vote. This would just present how it may not be as much of a threat as to why they would influence a vote. And if people are easily deceived by sarcastic comments then this would ruin a democracy. However it does depend if the user understands that the comments are just poking fun at the elections rather than making valid points.
