Ahhhh, there's the answer. There's no way a real world sample would give those numbers. It can't pass the sniff test - it stinks.

And yes, I understand you were making a point of absurdity. My statement of the poll failing the sniff test still stands.

OK, just to make sure everyone catches this:

It was a joke. I meant to demonstrate my lack of confidence in the survey sample's honesty by making what I thought would be an obviously ridiculous statement.

I have absolutely zero indication that it was done even partially in that Hasidic community (which really exists and really did vote in lock step for Hillary in her election - there was an investigation, but they couldn't prove any criminal act occurred).

To anyone who doesn't get it, DO NOT go spreading my sarcastic post around as if it were actually true.

I don't doubt that the sample for this poll is horribly skewed, but I am not claiming to have any direct information to back up that suspicion.

Admin: anyway to get a </sarcasm> or some other disclaimer added to my post #17 on this thread?  Given the obvious scrutiny we are under right now I don't want anyone to be able to take anything I say out of context or misinterpret it, particularly if it might be used as an attack on FR (or me, sorry for being selfish). 

Failing that please pull my post #17.

Thankyou
