2. No, you don't have it right
Edited on Sat Oct-31-09 04:13 AM by DFW
ANY poll that allows more than one vote per person is not a true poll. It's an electronic ballot-stuffing
exercise that is as reflective of true sentiment as much as Saddam's getting 99.85% of the vote in an Iraqi
election was a reflection of Iraqi public sentiment. If a poll only allows you to vote once, and you feel
strongly about the subject, then vote if you feel so inclined. If a "poll" allows anyone with the time on
their hands to vote as often as they like, then it's about as reliable as a statistic cited on a Rush Limbaugh
broadcast, and should be treated with just about the same amount of respect.
