-- The Poll is not fair!!! (http://discussion.visorcentral.com/vcforum/showthread.php?threadid=9883)

Angry

James,
I don't think your poll is fair. Having "The election results" as an option is taking away from votes for the SixPak (which we all know is what's REALLY meant). It's also making this poll less serious than it actually is. And I think the way you have the poll laid out is making people vote for the Palm V killer when they mean to vote for the SixPak as well. Same for the Bluetooth option. (How's that for beating dead horses?)

Dick,

Quick comment. Our polling system uses Approval voting.

The difference? You can vote for several of the "selections" when casting your vote, instead of just one.

You can choose as many answers as you want, so no option is stealing votes from another. Only relative percentages.

So if you want to vote for six pak, palm v killer, and bluetooth, feel free to. Your vote is heard

Thanks,

Marcus

Have you EVER known a media poll to be 'serious'?

But it's the relative percentages that matter most. Not the actual vote.
