JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: POLL FINDS A MAJORITY OF AMERICANS THINK ELECTORAL COLLEGE SHOULD WAIT FOR MORE INFORMATION ON RUSSIAN HACKING - UNTIL THE LAST MOMENT THE PRESS STILL DESPERATELY TRYING TO STOP TRUMP


COMMENT TO AN ARTICLE IN THE INDEPENDENT


With all the phony polls created and used during the election, you might think the press would give up on them.

But, no, here we go again.

It is so easy to sabotage a poll of this nature, it is almost ridiculous.

The inclusion or exclusion of a single word in the question can change the count.

Besides, this is a pointless propaganda exercise even if the poll were valid.

The Electors are required, under the Constitution, to vote, full stop.

It is difficult to imagine what Constitutional authority could say, wait, or, go get more information first.

The poll is a useless exercise except for propaganda-laden papers like The Independent to have "one more kick at the can."
