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:

Fixing Polls: An Open Letter to MSNBC.com

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.'

now THAT is a good idea. The only alternative is to have every Freeper clean cookies and vote over and over for 2 days to beat them in this poll attack...

First, DUers are pathetic and can waste their time with that.

Second, you have frenchy morons and other foreigners that can vote.

Third, they are using bots with proxy servers to just cheat the system.

you run a program like wget or lynx within a looping script and you can saturate the vote count.

The Only Poll that counts, is the one in November, when we Go to the Election Polls...and that Poll....by the American Voter will show that George W. Bush will be re elected by a huge margin.

I don't understand how this works, but then I am not computer literate. I can operate one as long as all goes well. It is obvious that something it going on since CNN has the poll with Kerry winning at 80%. That is not credible at all, and couldn't just be DU. But then Terry did send out memos because in propaganda, perception is everything.

Great idea!

REVERSE FREEP.

VOTE FOR JOHN KERRY and show how the online polls are so easily manipulated.

It's up to over 80% Kerry now. People aren't as stupid as the Democrats think they are; they know Kerry got creamed tonight.

I agree!! These on-line polls are useless (sort of like the supposed 'scientific, unbiased' polls reported everyday. Push them to the high 90% area for sKerry to prove the point.
