Why are we so sure this poll excludes the independent cities?  Simply because the editor's note did not laboriously list them?  I don't think so. And when the poll was conducted, if someone said they were from Alexandria, the poll would exclude them, when purporting to poll NOVA? Really?  Please connect the dots guys. It seems ludicrous to me. Sure maybe the pollsters are nutters, but you guys will need a smoking gun to make your case here, like some admission from them that that is exactly what they did, because they are in fact nuts. Thank you.

The story "laboriously" noted the seven counties of NoVa they polled. If you want to argue that the cities were included, the burden of proof is on you.

Really?  If that is your ruling, I think I am going to have to file a writ of mandamus with the appellate court.

Circumstantial evidence just isn't your thing is it?  Hi, I am calling for the Perfect Polling People ("PPP") to ask if you plan to vote for POTUS this year, and if so for whom, and by the way, please tell me also where you live. I live in Alexandria. Oh, you live in Alexandria? I feel so sorry for you. No, we don't want your worthless little opinion, because you live in an independent city, and those suck, and if we had our way, you would not be able to vote at all. Have a nice day.
