As labradore notes, the latest question of the day online poll at Voice of the Cabinet Minister comes close to setting a record for vote totals.
It is second to another question about Muskrat Falls from last December.
Just so everyone is clear:
- Both the “Yes” and “No” votes are the result of someone deliberately dumping huge numbers of votes in here using computer programs.
- The governing Conservatives have been at this foolishness for years and used to get paid political staffers to sit there and manually click the button whatever way they wanted to see the vote go. It seems they’ve now deployed computers.
- Someone else has been auto-voting for the past three or four years likely just to frack with the Tory staffers.
- As labradore notes, VOCM disabled the “Yes” option over the weekend so that the people trying to push the vote against the government’s preferred answer to the question couldn’t get any more votes in.
- VOCM will report these results as if they were news. Call-in hosts will use them to prompt calls, most likely without mentioning that the thing is complete bullshite.
