(27,315 posts)Of course not, but I am sure some people think that when women and minorities vote, it is voter fraud.

(17,651 posts)I say, screw unskewed's nonsense. How about the Dems and the R's unite to eliminate nearly all chances of voter fraud.
Change some rules, allow the Federal government to run the State's elections, especially where the States have proven they are simply too incompetent to run an election operation.
How about PAPER BALLOTS with some type of receipt?! Yea, that'd be super.
And how about standardized early voting days and polling places in all 50 states. Yea, sounds good to me too.
And how about some real steel baretrap punishments for those caught engaging in any type of election or voter fraud?! Yes, sounds really, really good.
Then while we're at it, we can do something about this gerrymandering problem that seems to occur every 10 years or so. Yep!
In addition to while were at it, we can straighten out this voter ID big pile of Bullshit that seems to become the latest and greatest GOP line of tragic comedy. Where's the evidence? Both sides should have plenty of evidence to prove that requiring everyone to have ID is justified rather than a complete waste of time.
Who said Democrats and Republicans can't work together?

UFOs are nothing but drones spying on right wingers and Fox news.
Glenn Beck is actually a left wing mole.
Hannity is actually in a torture chamber because the robot that replaced him has changed his views on immigration.

(106,886 posts)Dean Chambers, creator of UnskewedPolls.com and titular leader of the movement that insisted the polls had to, just had to be wrong, had a rough night on Tuesday. Not only did his projection of a Romney win prove incorrect, but he was forced to concede defeat to Nate Silver, a man whom he'd dissed as "thin and effeminate" and a "poster child for the New Castrati." We called a humbled Chambers the day after the election to discuss his poll-adjusting methodology and the future of unskewing.

(230 posts)Poll crapped out - I'm looking at a lot of cold fusion code running on a Windoze platform; uh oh...looks like someone could get hacked - there's enough info here to use certain "tools" to crack this crib but good.
I cannot believe these idiots. I think I now know why the supposed ORCA project was such a PoS. If this (unskewed polls) is an example of reTHUG technical expertise, then I know why they could do math!
Seriously, any experienced sysadmin could crack this crib. I'm always warning people who code up stuff on the servers I administer to not use default error pages for anything - especially those that give path information to, you know, things like config files that will have, you know, passwords?
Geez; I guess we should be thankful that they are so stupid.
I did give him a chance though; I sent him an insulting email with the error, the path to his database config files (dummy!) that the error exposed, and what to so to fix it.
Not bad for an old fat white guy (me!), oh, and I reminded him that it is the Democratic party, not Democrat. I go Anglo-Saxon on those idiots - made our teabagger state rep crap his pants once when I "CORRECTED" him - the ol' veteran drill sergeant voice makes 'em bulge eyeballs in terror.
