Voting Poll

Trying to create a meaningful poll which removes the built-in biases of the PA membership. (Whatever those are.)



(Try number 5. Sometimes I hate software. LOL)

No brainer

This poll has to run 80-90% Trump.
Unless, of course, it is infiltrated and falsified.
That's a strong possibility.

You mean it's going to be biased like every other poll in existence?

Don't worry, PA recently allowed mail-in voting. Once all those votes are counted, it will be Biden by 2 votes.

No, that's not what I'm saying.

If every regular PA-OTG contributor voted in this poll,
it would have to reflect 80+% in favor of Trump.
No big deal - that's just how it is.

Some of the previous political polls on here have been messed with, though.
I doubt it's the Russians.

Hey....it's not my website.
Multiple fake accounts would be my guess, though.

There's no way in hell this poll should favor Biden.
Past performances make it a possibility.

I guess all the talk about the covid shutdowns affecting the mental health of many Americans is true now. Seeing and reading is believing

Multiple fake accounts voting for Biden would actually suggest enthusiasm for Biden.

So I agree with you 100%

The poll should favor Trump by a wide margin....as opposed to sleepy/dementia Joe.

This is a horse racing website, which means people with probably above average intelligence.

So naturally, democrats will be in the minority.

And there it is.

I designed this as a social experiment.

So, the only two poll numbers I was interested in were:
BIDEN and have voted Repub at least once since 1990.
and
TRUMP and have voted Demo at least once since 1990.

These would be the moderates. The whole question of the election will be decided by what these two groups do.
But I have to admit that there was a deeper study I was interested in.

There have been several comments alluding to the possibility "multiple accounts" here on PA. I thought, wouldn't it be interesting if this was true and the left-wing would effectively stuff the ballot boxes with multiple votes.

I've been watching this for much of the day and even taking a few screen shots.

The ratio has been pretty much 2/1, in these two categories all day long.

Then, all of a sudden, just a few minutes ago, the score jumped from 24 to 12 (favoring Trump) to 25 to 24 (favoring Biden).

In other words, in just a handful of minutes Biden scored 13 consecutive votes.

I am satisfied that these were duplicate votes, possibly cast entirely by one person.

Thank you for your participation.

Yeah...it's very easy to rig a poll these days...don't even need multiple accounts.

I'm surprised it took them this long to figure this out.

Well 96 votes and Biden’s pulling 40%

That is a bit higher than expected.

I voted option 3. Well except that I did not vote for carter in 1980. Did however in 76.

I was an Anderson man. Lo those many years ago.
