"After more than 85,000 phone calls and nearly 50,000 text messages, a potential problem emerged." Great story by @sfcpoll on what happened when @washingtonpost tried to poll the Kansas Senate race washingtonpost.com/politics/…
We polled Kansas. Democrats wanted to talk. Republicans, not so much.

When I publish public polling during an election, I make a point of declining my ballot or leaving it blank. It’s a longstanding practice to keep my own political preferences separate from my work. Today in Toronto, I cast a blank ballot. #TOpoli
