About that poll.... | Drudge Retort

Monday, February 01, 2010

Just wanting to see if anyone besides me has caught the poll function not operating at 100% acurate? At least 3 times I've voted on something, and after the vote I just made was submitted, the results for my choice still show 0. Anyone else have this happen?

I thought that only liberal votes counted.

It must be using Diebold voting machine software.

Ya gotta tweak the Diebold valve for it to tabulate votes correctly.

Damn, that's nice of you Vern. And to think I almost brought up that the poll might be plugged into your calculator. Gosh, I'm glad I didn't.

Hmm. I'll do some more testing.

what is the margin of ACORN on these polls?

Seriously. Since we are on the subject of DR poll I have a question for Rogers: If it's not too difficult, from a technical standpoint, could you add "Total Votes" to the poll results?

Math is thought you know?!

"If it's not too difficult, from a technical standpoint, could you add "Total Votes" to the poll results?"

I agree. This poll's a doozey. You have to be able to count on your fingers all the way up to eight to get the grand total.

Doc, I am just trying to help you Liberals out. I know math is thought for you guys, and every other subject for that matter. You're welcome!

Hey, Doc thanks for sharing with us a picture of your lap top. Maybe you should get something more, ummmmm, modern. Just sayin'!

You can keep trying, Member, but you're the one who asked Rogers to post the total number of people who responded to polls as if just giving the poll a glance and figuring it out for yourself was a Herculean task. A personal request, I'll add, with no qualifiers until you realized you'd made yourself look foolish.

Lol!

I've seen polls in other pages with "total vote" counts. I know it's fun to bust people's chops, but you run the rick of people thinking you are a Drama Queen.

If you vote correctly, Rcade sends you a pack of Newports and DiculousDesigns.com T-Shirt.

Give it a rest, Member. You looked silly, couldn't take a joke. Try and live with it, diva.
