He's pulling ahead more now. 52.6 v. 47.4.

If that 60,000 total is about right, then Marion is about 3800 votes behind. That also mean tens of thousands of votes were cast for Gus in a matter of a very few minutes this morning. Something stinks.

It appears that Marion's opponent has some type of automated voting going on. As others mentioned, she was ahead with 60+ percent of the vote this morning, then falls to less than 50% in minutes. Now she's gaining ground, but with the poll ending at 10:00pm eastern time tonight, I suspect the bot will be turned on again if she pulls ahead. Too bad they didn't set these polls up to prevent multiple votes; at least without deleting cookies.

Thanks for the response guys! I've added a link to the new poll on the original post.

Anyone can vote and they can vote as often as they like.

That does have a familiar ring to it.

Shouldn't there be no default...?

That's the way I'd set it up.

Marion Hammer is a long-time NRA Board Member, former President of the NRA (first female President) and current President of the Unified Sportsmen of Florida. Florida’s terrific gun laws, self-defense laws, and preemption laws are in place because of her tireless work. Marion absolutely controls the Florida Legislature on those issues.

Every year a rather unusual poll is run to determine the State’s “best lobbyist.” Marion doesn’t campaign and last year a woman named Donna Simmons edged Marion out by campaigning heavily as she is again this year. That’s no big deal in a rather light-hearted poll, right? Right . . . right up to the point that Ms. Simmons started bragging about beating Marion and mentioning the NRA and the Unified Sportsmen of Florida. That’s somewhat like insulting your “Momma” to gun owners, so we need to get behind Marion and vote for her.

The poll has a very short lifespan; i.e. today through Thursday (3/28), so please vote for Marion now! CLICK HERE to vote. This round is over, but round three has begun.

CLICK HERE FOR ROUND 3 voting. Let's keep Marion winning.
Thanks for helping a Second Amendment icon,
