1. Freepers know how to script a poll?
Total Votes: 7,238,144

I find that number highly suspicious.

2. I just voted six times
So maybe they're just sitting there hitting the yes button.

8. Now it's at 8,468,613 votes
You are going to need 42,000 votes to move it one percentage point. Pretty obvious that the script-kiddies are bombing this poll.

Don't waste your time.

17. PBS polls on threads for the past seven days have all been freeped.
I'm too tired to go fight there and give PBS that many clicks. I don't listen to them much since they let themselves be pushed too far right for me at least 7 years ago.

18. That's a lot of clicks
Now it's at 13,174,565 votes. Of what value is a poll that doesn't block multiple voting?

And how does a poll with only three answers ever add up to 98%?

Oh, I see, it's truncating instead of rounding. Is PBS innumerate?
