        The headline is clearly false, you can’t tell political affiliation just by looking at a persons face.
        Maybe in USA you have a slightly better chance than random, because age and gender alone will give a statistical difference. But the claim of the headline remains false.

        The claim of the headline is reiterated in the article:

        A study recently published in the peer-reviewed American Psychologist journal claims that a combination of facial recognition and artificial intelligence technology can accurately assess a person’s political orientation by simply looking at that person’s blank, expressionless face.

          100% a response to the headline, which clearly must be false

          It is, my bad - I thought that was obvious. The headline and the article conclusion contradict the study itself, it’s just clickbait.

          But the study is not invalid because of it.
