Default Re: Poll asking about CCW for Illinois

Wow, I cast my vote but the anti's seem to be plentiful in IL. I feel real bad for gun owners in Ill.
It is sad to see a poll with such bad numbers, I cant remember seeing such a bad newspaper poll before. For as much as the anti gun movement has pushed I usually see positive poll results in these newspaper polls but this one is really bad.

I copied this from a post at Illinois Carry.

Some forums are discussing that a Votebot program may be being used to skew the votes.

Heres a quick google search result on votebot

I cast my ballot. Is anyone really surprised how this is going?

Default Re: Poll asking about CCW for Illinois

I just voted and the results stand as follows:

The NIU shooting makes me think...
That we should make it still harder to get a gun.
79428 71.7%

That maybe Illinois should be a concealed carry state.
31207 28.2%

That our law shouldn't change.
136 0.1%

Either a program is being used to automatically vote for the Anti's (gotta love technology huh) or Illinois is a lost cause.

The numbers for the other side are going up WAY to fast.

~5000 in less than 15 minutes? Yeah right.


Someones skewing the numbers.


In any case, I'm extremely happy I got away from there and moved here.
