Political Factoid

Throughout 2016, many
of the "polls" that
Donald Trump claimed
showed him winning
were not scientific polls
. . .  but simply online
"snap" contests where
anyone could vote an
unlimited number
of times
 
. . .  and were biased
by the people who
visit those right-leaning
websites, including
people (and bots* ) from
Russia.
* a.k.a. web robots, software applications
that runs automated tasks (scripts)
over the Internet.
