An Increasing Margin of Error

God, I'm tired of surveys, exit and opinion polls.

And here's how you can make it stop: when asked to take a poll or survey, agree to gladly, then lie.

You must respond to the poll - if you don't, someone else will. But if you lie, they're results will become less accurate or predictive. And it's more fun that way.

I'm tired of being profiled, marginalized, and herded into pre-defined groups. I'm tired of politicians saying what they think we want to hear. And I'm particularly tired of "front runners" and "come from behind wins."

We have polls - the elections are when we speak and make our opinions known. But too many vote the way the expect others too, unwilling to "waste their vote". How can you know how others will vote without the help of the up-to-the-minute-margin-of-error-less-than-3-fucking-percent polls?

Elections and voting are a sacred duty. So the next time you walk out and as asked how you voted, smile and lie.
