Ann Selzer – previously renowned for her predictions in The Hawkeye State – admitted her research was completely wrong and might have even emboldened MAGA nation.’I told more than one news outlet that the findings from this last poll could actually energize and activate Republican voters who thought they would likely coast to victory,’ she wrote Thursday. ‘Maybe that’s what happened.’ Selzer added she was ‘thinking about how we got where we are.’The bombshell admission…
