That oversampling isn't nefarious - campaigns ask for that all the time, to get a more reliable handle on certain segments of the population. What is dishonest is not correcting a top line "reported" poll outcome for the difference between the actual sample (shich often includes a deliberate oversample), and some projected makeup of the voting constituency.

Both sides do deliberate oversamples. It's normal for "inside polls."
