Denver Post Running a Poll About The Proposed Ballot Initiative That Would Repeal The Magazine Ban

[brobar]

Yeah... I think it is pretty clear. It went on for about 20 minutes and when I tried to counter it... it stopped for about an hour. But they started it back up and are going even faster now. I can't counter it on my own. And like NYNCO said... since I'm not behind a firewall... they will probably be giving me a call a bit later. hehe So I'm gonna stop trying to counter it and just let it go. I can't keep up with 'em by myself!

Yeah, the pro-1224 votes are coming in now at just a bit over exactly 1 per second, at a constant pace, no interruption. Running some math, if this doesn't stop, the poll will be at 50/50 in about 4 hours. By the end of the workday the entire picture will be reversed, most likely.

And, of course, it'll be waved around as a victory.

I have a VPN but for some reason my HMA account is having a hard time locking on the Denver servers. That happens during business hours.

[brobar]

Yep. Wouldn't surprise me if they let it run until it flip-flops to 80 in their favor, 20 in our favor and then have a firestorm of emails to Hick saying "see... the people are in favor of this" RIGHT BEFORE he signs it! Sneaky little bastards!!!

This site has turned into a fucking tinfoil party.

[merl]

well we do have evidence they are out to get us

[nynco]

No on this one ridge, its very easy for a firm that is hired to hit their servers with a script to flip the count. The fact that this poll is staying up for this long indicates that someone is trying to change the results and the poll will stay until they get what they want. All the other denver post polls last 1 day.

[brobar]

I don't know about that nynco... the concealed carry on college campus poll has been up for a week (heavily in our favor). Doesn't mean they won't hit that one next after they are done with this one... but you can still vote on it at the moment.

[nynco]

I could be wrong, I don't pay attention to the polls all the time. I only go to them when you all call for us to do our part.

Denver Post polls can stick around for days. They usually cover hot topics or sporting events. Since there is only March Madness going on now, that leaves the hot topics. And since this whole thing is going on at this very moment, it makes sense that it has lasted. Especially since the thing only went up ~15 hours ago. Less than a day.
