Kerry Supporters Running Automated Scripts to "Win" online polls
Poll Fixing - Example from Linux Today ^ | self


Posted on 10/08/2004 8:33:14 PM PDT by Enlightiator


Kerry is winning the online polls on the debate by such a huge margin, as with the last debate, that its quite obvious that poll spamming by www.DemocratsUnderground.com isn't the cause. In the past, Freerepublic provided online poll links, DU provided online poll links, and it was usually a spirited but decent contest.

Tonights online polls, as with the last debate, indicate that there are certainly far more sophisticated techniques being used to falsely inflate the Kerry vote than DU's normal multiple voting techniques. I have watched CNN and MSNBC go dramatically into a huge (and unbelievable) lead in only minutes. Automated voting scripts are the only thing that would cause such an imbalance so quickly. Its been done before by computer hacks:

Fixing Polls: An Open Letter to MSNBC.com

Looks like Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe has the good fortune to have some real good computer support working the case for Kerry's online polls. Well, Terry did send an email request for "voters," he didn't say they had to be human.

1. I would hope we wouldn't cheat! That's just lame.

[MsMagnificent]

23. Boo Fucking Hoo

Redundant? Yep!

Don't care.

Boo

Fucking

Hoo

[skooooo]

27. don't care about cheating?

That's too bad.

[MsMagnificent]

29. I guess

Are you telling me that because we didn't cheat, or care about cheating, the deaths of over a thousand US soldiers and countless other citizens of the world is a fair price?

Oh, but we were fair...

That we stab our own selves in the back, bending over backwards to be fair?

I'm sorry. I've had it.
Play fair, and they'll run all over you. They know the game they're playing, and they play it very well.

That's the way it is. As we exhort Bush to, so must we also better deal with reality.


It's not just rhetoric, it's lives -- human lives.

[tinrobot]

2. We're more motivated

Simple as that.

That motivation will carry through to election day.

[DarkPhenyx]

3. they can't even get the fucking URL right.

Goddess they are pathetic

[Dehumanizer]

14. Monkeys see, monkeys do..

Factcheck.COM anyone? :)

[Arugula Latte]

4. These are the same people

who routinely urge their people to vote multiple times and to remember to "delete their cookies" (whatever that means -- I'm kind of a computer dunce).

In their eyes what's good for the goose is definitely not good for the gander.

[Spiffarino]

5. Sorry, whiny little bitches

I'm sorry it hurts your feelings when you have to smell your own shit.

[toddaa]

6. Got Perl?

Why do TV networks still use these things?

[R3dD0g]

7. Any DUers around her who know how to write one of those

scripts? It'd be mighty handy to have one lying around the HD come next debate.

[kayleybeth]

8. Screw them.

Sore losers. Kerry won tonight. Period. I hope the FReepers choke on it.

[ScreamingMeemie]

9. Easy answer. There are far more of us than there are of them... Silent

majority having its say again. :hi:

[bloom]

17. yeah - more denial on their part.

I guess they've been ignoring the millions of people all over the country and the world out there protesting. Or maybe FOX doesn't ever show that.

[ScreamingMeemie]

20. You hit it. They are loud and obnoxious quite a bit of the time.

We will have our final say on November 2. :hi:

[cheshire]

10. Oh my God Maybe Kerry was better. DUH

[seraph]

11. ROFLMAO!!

Man, those freeptards figured it out guys! Looks like we're busted!

Idiots.

[NightTrain]

12. What the hell is "www.DemocratsUnderground.com?"

Never heard of it!

[jayctravis]

25. Try clicking www.democratsundergroun.com...

it's a low bandwidth version of the front page.

Freeper probably on dial up.

[delete_bush]

26. I tried it, it does end up

here. Must be pointed to this URL or whatever that's called.

[AnIndependentTexan]

13. you mean this time they didn't post a single person? Poor Skinner

[blue sky at night]

15. Score one for the Good Side.

Right back at you freepers. Man this is awesome shit, lets put the pressure on big time.

[barb162]

16. my heart bleeds for the GOP, teehee

[Nordic]

18. live by the sword, die by the sword. NO WHINING

fucking assholes.

[elperromagico]

19. We're just better at getting out the vote, that's all.

:D

[TheWebHead]

21. uhhh, freerepublic has a much higher traffic ranking than DU

if that was the only factor, the freepers would be kicking our ass. The spirit of the left goes well beyond DU. We have an age, education, intelligence advantage and of course the party out of power is always more motivated to "kick the bastard out", especially when Bush rules so far from the right.

[umtalal]

they are peeved and they are calling us foreign workers. are the king of

outsourcing racists after all?

I HATE RACISTS.

[ThoughtCriminal]

22. Sheesh, I don't have time to cheat

or even go to news sites that I don't read anyway.

[Ksec]

24. LOL what a bunch of rejects from society freepers are

[meow2u3]

28. The Freeper pot is calling the DUer kettle black nt
