The v1.33 update for The Political Machine 2016 went out today. New random events and updates to election issues.

Changelog here.

Issues Updates
Election Integrity (New) Politicians on both sides are questioning the validity of election results, suspect either vote tampering or voter suppression. This issue is especially important to Trump.

Probing Hillary's Emails (updated) The FBI's eleventh-hour revelation of new emails has added to the campaign chaos and increasing awareness of this issue.

New random events
Internet Revelations
Whether it was hackers or cyber-punks or just troublesome teens, someone has been breaking into emails and sharing secrets with the world, causing an unneeded distraction at this critical stage in the campaign. Reduces a candidate's credibility with voters.

Foreign Interference
Foreign powers have developed a sudden interest in American democracy and seeing a specific candidate win. This has raised questions about the integrity of our democracy. This event reduces a candidate's ability to raise money; it also raises the importance of the "Nationalism" and of "Election Integrity" issues.

Internal Party Revolt
Both political parties have rebels stirring in revolt against their candidate, questioning everything they do, said they'll do, or quietly bragged about doing. Reduces a candidate's support across the board.
