I'm not going to be doing this. Everything you say suggests you have no clue about anything about cryptography and you're going to be bit sooner rather than later. Don't spread your information, just keep it to yourself so that the damage is limited. Thanks.
They didn't predict the result of elections, not sure what you want to prove by a lie.
You're correct. It was an example of a collision attack which means they can put up a single hash and it will match many possible documents that include all the names of the candidates. If you had _read_ the source, you may have understood that. In fact, if you have read anything on cryptography at all before, you'd be staying away from MD5, but ignorance is bliss I suppose. Just don't spread your ignorance to others because you could easily cost people their livelihood. If you lose your job because of this, then that's on you, so I won't feel badly about it. But I am concerned about an innocent third party walking in thinking you might have a clue of what you're talking about, when you clearly don't.
Take care.
