This reminds of when the exit polls showed that Gore won Florida, or that Kerry won Ohio, in contradiction of the computer counts. No, it wasn't possible that vote fraud was responsible for the discrepancy. It was that the practice of exit polling had suddenly become invalid at the exact same time that the the conditions for and evidence of massive vote fraud were plainly visible.

This will get settled when votes are cast. Until then it is impossible to know.

As the sole voter of poles, I declare victory in everything. It's like the repub primaries up in this. 1 old lady on a pacemaker trying to find her glasses complaining about how #3 pencils were better and that the red lettering on the ballot is 'from the devil.'

They can be. Phone-based polls can be non-scientific and unreliable.

A non-public pole should result in a ban.
