With a small group you might get away with it for a while.
In most forums the admin's goal is to grow membership. If that's a goal here then IMO it's a mistake.
I now hate skiing alone.
But the thing that really changed my approach was a concussion I got in the woods at Plattekill. If I wasn't with Ed, I might be dead.

Tony I'm sorry to say tldr. But you know what? This is a statistical thing. I'm guessing, and you are performing science.
I say this sincerely: I take your word for it.
Now it seems estimates for the pop vote difference is over 3M. That is significant IMO.
To me the most striking thing is, the polls were basically right, certainly in the national popular vote. It was very close to a tie.
In the current setup, democrats can't win in a 50/50 popular vote.
This is mind blowing. Just one poll, but a well respected pollster.

Honestly I'd be shocked if this was real.
Maybe it would seem less political if there was some kind of hierarchy of prosecution, where pressuring officials to change vote counts takes precedence over cheating on your taxes.
People who talk to pollsters are now less representative of everyone who will ultimately vote.
So it is too close to call. It's almost like the margin for error for polling has increased.
