Homo Your Vote on Gay Marriage

Posted by Dominic Holden on Thu, Feb 2, 2012 at 2:19 PM

Go to the Lewis County Chronicle, scroll down to the lower right hand corner, and select "yes," "no," or "I'm not sure" (seriously, who's still not sure?) on the gay marriage poll. Right now the "no" side has 70 percent. Slog tipper I Got Nuthin' and the terrorized liberals of Lewis County thank you.

Looks like you can't vote twice, but their pie chart graphic is nifty.

6% is not sure. Amazing.

Posted by Matt the Engineer on February 2, 2012 at 2:24 PM

The "no" vote is at 69% now. Apparently it won't take much to really flip that baby around.

Also the color coding in their chart is reversed from the legend. Way to go geniuses!

Right now the chart shows 72% yes, 53% no, and 4% unsure. :-)

I do not know what to make of that!

Yes is now up to 55%. Nice :)

I voted, and weirdly the Yes vote was at 70% while the no vote was at 53%. This new math, it's so baffling to me.

The "yes" vote is the majority, but interesting percentages are being reported...

Cut and pasted from the poll:

Yes 72%
No 53%
I'm not sure 4%

Am I crazy or does that add up to 129%?!
Maybe if people keep voting the 'yes' vote can be above 100%!

Ah no wait, it just took some time to update?

68-30 yes/no split now. Is there counter-fisking afoot?

Posted by gloomy gus on February 2, 2012 at 2:54 PM

Yes is up to 76%, no is down to 30%, and not sure is 2%.

Posted by Clayton on February 2, 2012 at 2:58 PM

Yes is up to 119%, No is up to 41%, and Dunno is at 3%.

Normalized, these are:
Yes: 73%
No: 25%
Dunno: 2%

Posted by Warren Terra on February 2, 2012 at 3:04 PM

Yes: 81
No: 26
IDK: 2
Math: Disappointing.

Posted by Sean on February 2, 2012 at 3:08 PM

Thanks, I Got Nuthin', for spotting this. I can hear the heads exploding in Centralia right ... about ... now.

Posted by ron_in_PDX on February 2, 2012 at 3:27 PM

Yes: 80
No: 18
IDK: 1

Math getting better.

Posted by Canadian Nurse on February 2, 2012 at 3:33 PM

I would like to think that my vote balanced the math out.

Posted by Simone on February 2, 2012 at 3:57 PM

Just checked. Yes - 85%. No - 14%. IDK - 1%. Heh.

Posted by SeattleKim on February 2, 2012 at 4:11 PM

84% yes, 13% no, 1% 'not paying attention."

I'm not sure what happened between my post and @17 to make 2% of the vote disappear, but I'm pretty sure the Gays have something to do with it.

Y: 86%
N: 13%
M: 1%

They must be angry over there that we took over the poll, too bad.

Posted by Democrat1234 on February 2, 2012 at 4:38 PM

This is going to be another one of those where the number of votes exceeds the total number of people who read their fishrag by about 450,000% Then there will be wailing that outsiders voted in our poll.

This is fun, any other scientific polls we can fuck with?

Posted by catballou on February 2, 2012 at 5:53 PM

Yes 89%
No 10%
IDK 1%

Ha! Lewis County is more liberal than it thought :)

Posted by deign_to_say on February 2, 2012 at 7:08 PM

Yes up to 90%! Yay for fucking with people.

Posted by treefort on February 2, 2012 at 9:20 PM

90/9/1
Y/N/Dunno

I grew up reading the Comical, and can say with certainty that when it finally goes under nothing of value will have been lost.

Still 90/9/1 as of this morning.

Posted by TheRain on February 3, 2012 at 6:54 AM

Up to 86% yes. This is just great! Thanks one and all!
