Both political "sides" do this all the time, and it's never legit (that I can ever remember)

4. When a right wing org buys right wing books in bulk, the sale is recorded

Now, they are usually recorded and reported as bulk orders, but nobody reads the asterisk.

When right wing orgs buy tickets in bulk, the sale is recorded, but whether the ticket was redeemed is also recorded. That's the problem. Since theaters make their money off concessions, they notice when a 300 seat theater is sold out but nobody shows up.
