Haha, no. This thread is not about ACORN, but it IS about fraud. Polling fraud to be exact.
[URL=http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2009/09/strategic-vision-polls-exhibit-unusual.html]Number sorcerer Nate Silver[/URL] recently noted that a certain polling agency's numbers were very suspicious. In case you do not know Nate; he has the uncanny ability to predict election results based on relentless number-crunching. He also does a thing with baseball. [URL=http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2009/09/comparison-study-unusual-patterns-in.html]Here[/URL] are some additional numbers to drive the point home.
The poller responded with [URL=http://blogs.tampabay.com/buzz/2009/09/nate-silver-pollster-may-be-fraud.html]an extremely funny letter filled with grammar errors[/URL].
All this would be reasonable if there were not far more [URL=http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0909/Embattled_pollster_defends_methods.html]shady things[/URL] about Strategic Vision, LLC. Every single office they list corresponds with the location of a UPS office. After this became known they pulled this information from their website, listing only a n Atlanta address, [URL=http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2009/09/strategic-vision-office-is-located-in.html]which is also a lie[/URL].
Since they are possibly the only polling agency not to release crosstabs of their data to the public, it is extremely likely that they [URL=http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2009/09/are-oklahoma-students-really-this-dumb.html]do not actually poll at all[/URL]
This pollster appears to simply not exist as anything more than a name. And of course, the CEO [URL=http://www.humanevents.com/search.php?author_name=David+E.+Johnson]is a rabid republican[/URL]. This is why such things will never appear in the news, and ridiculous things like anything about ACORN will. For the same reason, Yukimura will be hesitant to agree that this pollster is just farting out numbers, while he continues to believe ACORN is literally a child prostitution ring filled with mobsters and other scary [spoiler]black[/spoiler] people.
