Let's go find the really heavily weighted members of _all_ the polls and dox them too. This way we can screw them all up. Not just one that is influenced by a potential Trump voter.
- roywiggins 10y agoThis isn't doxxing.
- blank_dan 10y ago'Spose not. I think it is an attempt to subvert the authenticity of the poll though.
- crooked-v 10y agoA drastically skewed poll isn't very "authentic" in the first place.
- sp332 10y agoThe whole reason for being transparent about the polling methodologies is so we can analyze and critique them.
- maxerickson 10y agoThe article does not question the authenticity of the poll. It complements the pollsters on their documentation and sharing of data: It’s worth noting that this analysis is possible only because the poll is extremely and admirably transparent: It has published a data set and the documentation necessary to replicate the survey. It does point out an aspect of the poll that may undermine its utility in accurately predicting the result of the election, but it's a pretty dry fact, the repeated inclusion of a heavily weighted voter. If Trump takes 10-20% of the black vote, then the poll did a good job predicting the results. I don't expect that to happen.
