Interesting poll results from a Sinclair owned station
Channel 6 (WSYX) in Columbus covered the rally last night and of course had to marginalize it with the republican pundit saying the People of Ohio have spoken, blah, blah, blah.

The interesting thing is their online poll last night said
65% believed the election was fair
35% did not believe the election was fair

Today it says
55% believed the election was fair
45% did not believe the election was fair

Hmm. I think I'll buy some stock in tin foil...

So, of course I had to put my two cents in:

Uh, hello?! One look at the impossibly long lines in inner city precincts caused by lack of machines that were either broken or hidden in a warehouse somewhere looks like suppression to me.

And, all signs are pointing toward fraud whether you want to report it or not. Blackwell's insistence on not cooperating with the recounts and his denial to stand before the House Judiciary Committee to account for his actions regarding the election only underscore it in my mind.

I wouldn't rely on your own online poll alone but here's what you have.
44% President Bush
54% Senator Kerry
1% Undecided
This from an audience that probably doesn't know how biased towards the right Sinclair media really is.

My last words:
It's in the code, Stupid.

5. Even calling it a poll is misleading
It's be DUn like other online "polls" are Freeped.

It's meaningless garbage.

6. Yeah, but if it's freeped, wouldn' t the poll numbers say
the majority think the election WAS fair?

Plus the the minority of those who think the election wasn't fair is starting to be less of a minority.

Ah, well, I'm sure the freepers who want to silence this and cruise this board will find out about it and try to change it.

8. Think about it: The poll probably WAS being freeped
And they STILL got a fairly large number saying they thought the election was stolen.

And that was WITHOUT the help of DemocraticUnderground.com
