Poll Rigger: Matt Jacobson

I like politics when they are conducted to present the best candidate. However, polls simply judge who people support.

Yet, despite this, leading a poll is a big deal for some. Matt Jacobson sent out an e-mail which urged his supporters to vote on The Maine View gubernatorial poll located here:

As of my last check, despite leading his herd to the poll, he is still behind in the numbers by at least 100.
The e-mail is as follows:

The Maine View has a poll up for who you would choose in each primary of Maine’s gubernatorial election.

Please go and vote – and pass it around to your friends and family. We know Matt is the best candidate – let’s make sure that others know as well!

E-mail over. Matt Jacobson has lost any and all support he had from me. To place this in the context of the extreme times we live in, if he is fine with rigging a poll how much further is the steps to rig a vote?

If you disagree that this is an attempt to rig the results of a poll meant for people who visit The Maine View blog, please let me know what you think.
