How many online polls have been scrubbed because Kerry was ahead?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

I've read some threads about this, but it seems we need to start keeping track. I know these polls aren't scientific, and can be fairly easily hacked or freeped, but if some of these "news" organizations are deliberately pulling them because they show Kerry ahead -- we have to gripe, loudly and publicly, about that.

3. I think it has to do with multiple votes having the same IP Address

and media is saying those aren't valid. This was discussed in a thread the other day.

To be on the safe side, we should cut and paste links into our browsers instead of clicking the links directly from DU. That way, when they continue resetting polls we'll know for certain it has nothing to do with "invalid" votes.

4. You know what crossed my mind when I saw the strong response

from Kerry supporters on the on-line polls? I realized at that point that Liberals and left-of-centers have been drifting to the internet for their news for the last two years. We're the only ones who realize that the cable and network stations are not liberal at all, but skewed to the right.

I don't think that the stations are bright enough to figure that out.
