538 CORN POLL LIE EXPOSED !!!!1!1!!!

Previously 538 posted:

0 percent

At the Iowa State Fair, they administer a decidedly nonscientific poll whereby fair goers drop a corn kernel into a jar corresponding to their preferred presidential candidate. In this decidedly nonscientific poll, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio registered 0 percent. For whatever it’s worth, Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren and Pete Buttigieg led the way with 24, 16 and 16 percent of the corn, respectively.

BUT IT'S ALL A LIE!!!!

Here is the PHOTOGRAPHIC PROOF:

Clearly DeBlasio HAS KERNELS in his JAR.

Oh, sure, being statisticians, 538 will probably try to cover this up claiming it's all due to some sort of STATITISICAL ROUNDING thing. Right. Sure. Like WE are all too DUMB to handle decimal fractions!
