Poll question: How many people were at the march today?

How many people were at the march today?
It took about 4 & 1/2 hours for the crowd to walk past MSG.

1. 44 to 900

You see, the librul media built 2,000 robots that looked like people. They had 44 people in the crowd to perform maintenance. They marched protesters around the same block in Camden, NJ! Not New York! The liberals will eat your children!

5. I've always wanted to get 20 people with manual clicker/counters

and stretch them in a line across the street while facing the folks who are marching towards them. They each click their clicker once for each marcher who passes between them and the person counting on their right. At the end of the march, you add up everyone's clicker. You then have a very accurate number of the number of marchers who passed by. Far more accurate than any other method I can think of.

Sadly, I don't think I know anywhere near enough people who would want to help pull this off.
