A mail survey?? LOL. Why bother?

The Columbus Dispatch is not only historically the most accurate poll in Ohio, but in terms of average candidate error, it has been the second most accurate poll in the country. And it makes sense. The people who take the time to fill out a mail-in ballot on their own (without being prompted by a phone call), are the people who are most likely to really show up and vote on election day.

Dear BlackRazor,

I doubt their "historically the most accurate" polls have been conducted via mail.

I have real questions about that methodology.

I'd want to know how many were mailed out, and how they handled the demographic stuff. Often, mail surveys have rates of response that make the data suspect.
