Elections are merely large polls... (none / 0) (#2)

Be serious.  The problem is INNACURATE polls (be they biased in their framing or tampered in their balloting).

A poll is simply a vote, polling questions as two-faced as candidates.

as well as the polls themselves is my issue.

I spent years debunking polls.

And, FWIW, I am an expert on them.
