- so even if the poll was designed to be "anonymous", the poll taker has no guarantee that the poll is indeed "anonymous"... (it's relatively easy to track someone down based on ip address)
- then there are numerous "sampling biases" with the fact that the poll was "online"...
.... it's certainly not accurate statistic of the population - includes only internet users
.... it includes only those willing to participate
.... etc
let me ask you a hypothetical question...
imagine you under-reported your taxes by $100k last year by using some shady tactics that would land you in jail for 5 years if caught
a. would you go to some online "anonymous" poll to answer questions about "tax evasion"?
b. if you did, on a scale from 1 to 10, how likely do you think you would be to answer truthfully about your recent criminal activity? |
So you are saying that the poll is too flawed due to its biased self-selection of respondents? In that case, Richman's study is irrelevant, since it is an erroneous conclusion that is based on a flawed and unuseable data set. So... ? If Richman is wrong and the study is wrong, then WHERE IS THE EVIDENCE FOR VOTER FRAUD?
