Trump says you can't do fair polls of registered voters, only likely voters, because many registered voters have died.

(65,159 posts)...include the dead people who have responded in their dataset!
The rest decided not to listen to the opinions of the dead people they talk to.

(32,068 posts)Not because they are dead but because people who are registered and don't vote get polled. It is very expensive to poll likely voters so polling firms don't start polling likely voters until sometime after Labor Day. Polls tend to tighten then because just those who are likely to vote are asked their opinions. Any experienced campaign organization knows this.

(4,394 posts)intellectual quantum mathematics...SUFFER those responding to unfair polls to come bigly unto me." So much suffering...so much suffering...I can't get a wink of sleep...so much suffering..(humms: something's, a quiz I think, coming in the night, oh yeah)...if they only had perfect health, posture, gait, hair like mine...in jail, in jail, in jail...
Here's the set up: Push #1 for Trump; Push #2 - if, in regard to the best choice #1, you plan to lie, vote fraudulently, or for somebody else; Push #3 if you are deceased.
Here's the problem: How many registered deceased do I need to win?
