the misplacing poll ???
Probably ‘misplaced’ because they didn’t like the results.
Sort of like O’Reilly did years ago during the furor over ‘white’ proms in the South. He was against them. He ran a poll on his website. It was later pulled down and O’Reilly used the excuse that there were ‘technical glitches’.
“the misplacing poll ?”
I caught that too. The whole paragraph reads like it was composed by an affirmative action, third world hire. Definitely not a native English speaker.
