Why don't we do this for elections?
- amenhotep 3y agoBecause people wouldn't like it.
- alephnerd 3y agoThey do use the CLT in polls for elections. There are different types of polls (some have crap methodology but others are actually statistically driven).
- gus_massa 3y agoPeople lie, sometimes they want to vote someone but are afraid and tell the poller another candicate. The electtion system in USA is very sensitive to small differences, that are below the extimated error of the pool. ("swing states") The looser will always ask for a full election.
