Re: [RC] Surveys-and what they mean - Truman PrevattWe did a similar WD poll on the SERA site a few years ago. I had it put up right in the middle of a weight division food fight on ridecamp. Within a day our web manger called and said something was fishy. It sure was we determined that someone had stuffed the ballot box. The were a couple thousand anti weight division votes - we normally run a few hundred total votes. The stuffing was anti weight divisions but that's not relevant, but is was it was stuffed. We pulled the poll and put in provision to minimize the potential of a person voting more than once (it is impossible to completely prevent if someone is willing to spend the money and effort but you can make it difficult) and reissued the poll.At that time the results were more in line with the numbers we saw from the other polls. The results were in line with what the AERC poll just run found.

It would have been heated, I am sure, but people would have thought about the subject in greater depth, been more aware of the pros and cons of various weight issues and more apt to cast a ballot. -- “He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster.
