VA: Mason-Dixon TIE(Whoops! Fake poll! Umm, maybe not.)

[ATFFL]

Stickied as an example of why you should not post polls until you see them from a reputable source.

Yes I believe one can take the Whoops Fake Poll banner down now.

Mason-Dixon is still not listing it on their website.

This has gotten weirder.

Explain this:
Full poll details.

From that:What is your current official party voter registration? Are you registered to vote as a:

DEMOCRAT 31%

REPUBLICAN 34%

INDEPENDENT 35%

Problem? Look at this pdf.

Anyone see where to register by party?

Yeah, that's a screw-up on Mason-Dixon's part...but I doubt it affected the results in any form.

Could be a sign that the poll was not written by MD themselves, but that they only conducted the poll.  Also, the sample selection is not typical MD.

Also the 5-day span of conducting the poll is totally not M-D.  Very strange indeed.

One might go so far as to think someone paid MD to conduct a poorly constructed poll to get the respect that goes with the name MD.
