Kerry Supporters Running Automated Scripts to "Win" online polls
Poll Fixing - Example from Linux Today ^ | self

Posted on 10/08/2004 8:33:14 PM PDT by Enlightiator

Kerry is winning the online polls on the debate by such a huge margin, as with the last debate, that its quite obvious that poll spamming by www.DemocratsUnderground.com isn't the cause. In the past, Freerepublic provided online poll links, DU provided online poll links, and it was usually a spirited but decent contest.

Tonights online polls, as with the last debate, indicate that there are certainly far more sophisticated techniques being used to falsely inflate the Kerry vote than DU's normal multiple voting techniques. I have watched CNN and MSNBC go dramatically into a huge (and unbelievable) lead in only minutes. Automated voting scripts are the only thing that would cause such an imbalance so quickly. Its been done before by computer hacks:

Looks like Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe has the good fortune to have some real good computer support working the case for Kerry's online polls. Well, Terry did send an email request for "voters," he didn't say they had to be human.

Join in and swing the polls to show 99 to 1 in favor of Kerry...then it will highlight the uselessness of online polling with the DU'ers around.

FoxNews is over 70% kerry.

What kind of "scripts" do this and why don't websites block them, anyway?

Good. Online polls are stupid. Maybe people will ignore them after this.

Hmm. I'd be interested to know whether there's some way of demonstrating this theory with some numbers, times, and the like.

An alterntive theory would be that the media are cooking their own polls. It's not hard to pump up the numbers when you have direct access to the servers.

Could be an interesting idea to send around the blogosphere.

A new Democrat constituency - voting bots, can now join other such groups like the "metabologically challenged" and "unregistered foreign workers".

How about a group of human automatons riled up by the Soros front groups?
