Disclaimer attached to online debate poll

[RandySF]

A disclaimer: Online reader polls like this one are not statistically representative of eligible primary voters. They are a measure, however imprecise, of which candidates have the most energized online supporters, or most social media savvy fan base. After all, what they are counting is the number of Internet-devices controlled by people who want to vote.

1. So she came in well behind Bernie eh.

Knew that was the "issue" before I even saw the poll.

2. Go ahead

and stay up all night double-voting in online polls.

3. Voted once and once only. As for staying up all night it is lunch time for me.

and the sun is shining. Yet another "fact" you got wrong.

5. I don't know why they don't set polls by IP.

This poll in particular lets you revote if you simply open a new private window. Must be cookie based. But an IP based poll shouldn't use much more resources, could even use less since you're not having to parse a cookie.

I dunno I am looking at the technical aspect.

4. Same as last time.. Hillary won the 1st debate but the onliners poll bros

made sure it looked way different. It was so obvious .. there were articles about it.

They're only foolin' themselves.
