The Fox poll is doing it again
Just like last week , I checked the number of votes for Edwards before placing my vote , and the number didn't go up after I voted .

How can this happen twice unless it is some sort of fiddle ?

Perhaps one person should nominate themselves on here , so everyone doesn't do it , then go and see if the same thing happens with one of the other options . I'm reluctant to suggest Cheney as I begrudge him one vote so I'll leave it up to the one nominee . Then report your results back here .

1. yup...total didn't change for me, either...
but that could be lag time between the database calculations and the web posting.
It still showed Edwards ahead, but not by a large margin

2. They change at certain time intervals.
They don't want you to know if you're able to mess with the poll or not, so they don't show the results in real time.
