votehelp.org calculator currently inverting results
Advertisements [?]
Edited on Tue Jan-08-08 03:59 PM by dusmcj
when I used the votehelp.org calculator and gave my usual liberal
responses, it pretty much inverted the results, ranking the Reboobs
near the top for me and the Dems near the bottom. On an unambiguous
question like support for abortion, it indicated I agreed with the
Reboobs and disagreed with the Dems. I happen to know that one-for-
one this is the reverse of the facts. I redid the survey using just
the initial questions and answering as I would and it failed the same
way. I then redid it answering like a conservative, and it gave
partly inverted results, but in this case indicated that I agreed with
the Repubs on abortion (as I had entered for this test run).

A few possibilities come to mind:
- the calculator has a bug
- the calculator has been hacked to produce inverted results
- the calculator is a false flag op designed to mislead people, and
particularly potential liberal voters


I leave it to the folks at votehelp.org to rectify this apparent error
and post here to indicate that their tool is working again.
