The discussion was only between casa and nogaro. No other options, no other choices.
How can the poster skew the results?
We tried to get a non-involved party to poll, but he screwed it up like a dumbazz.

Ideally no, but in practice yes.
For example, I posted a poll in PNW forum to find out which Cougars did not have WSU in their sig by asking to poll what school people came from. Also to find out who the Huskies are.

My original poll used a better polling method -- preferential voting is
considered superior to the two-choice voting typically used in the U.S. It avoids extremism.
