Vote on whether you are for or against a ban on online gambling. It takes like 2 seconds.

Consider it the first shot in getting an California State poker site approved by law.

LOL, I first saw this poll when it was linked in a Casinomeister forum thread about 6 hours ago. At that time, it was about 75% yes.

I can imagine some right-wing conservative forum with some guy posting this link saying "Vote YES!"

Well I only voted about 30 minutes ago and at that time the yes side was ahead by close to 150.

As to whether it will do any good or not, every vote and every poll counts in my eyes. It definitely doesn't hurt and it only takes a few seconds.

I'm not an expert on polling, but from what I remember from market research in business school the way the question is being asked may be leading to a higher amount of "Yes" votes than there should be.

The reason is that a quick read of the question will lead many people to see the words "internet gambling" and think "yes, it should be legal", and therefore click the "yes" button. A negatively asked question such as this one, which effectively says to click yes if you think there should be no online poker, leads to erroneous results. Its great if the poll writer wants to skew the answers.

I voted twice. You can apparently vote as often as you like as long as you close your browser and start again.

In the last hour an 40 minutes responses almost doubled with almost all voting for a ban (1036 pro ban and 213 against one). This sucks. Seems someone is really pushing to curb our freedom of choice.

"Vote early vote often" Although pointless, I am throwing in some no votes. Hate to see the morality police, with any satisfaction.
