12. Yep, same here.
I guess if you agree with Rather, your vote isn't counted. Very scientific poll.

3. Hmmm I submitted my vote ...
... and it automatically brought me to the John Kerry for President site. Obviously, this is subterfuge, since they're expecting most people on their wingnut site to choose Bush.

9. sssh that's the trick
i picked the "wrong answer" on 4 of the 5 questions - except for "who are you voting for" - i picked bush.

that apparentLy short circuits them cuz it brings me to a "this page cannot be dispLayed"

that's funny though - it redirects you to kerry's site. ha!

13. I filled out the questionaire UNTIL I got to the 'required' . . . .
. . .name and Email part. I'm not giving those fuckwads that kind of information. Newsmax looks like some kind of fascist crap anyway.

14. The reason the submit isn't working might be because of the
Yahoo address in the link, it thinks sniffa is trying to vote multiple times.

If you actually want to vote in this "important national poll" (as "news"max calls it), go to their home page first.

17. My vote was dumped too
and I was sent to jk.com.

Keep this thread for when they try to use the poll for their own skewed purposes.
