FCFC,
I see no ethical problem with passing on what I saw with my own eyes. I am aware that there may be some inaccuracies in the result. There are inaccuracies in all polls. I have no way whatsoever of knowing what those inaccuracies are. For all I know the "No" group is padding their vote in the poll. For all I know there is a gigantic glitch in the computer program recording the vote. I am making no other claim than the bald result of the poll.
However, in questioning the numbers:
First, you are questioning the the ethics of a very large number of people who you suspect may have voted more than once in the poll. I voted once only and I do not presently know of anyone who voted more than once.
Second, there can be no objection to encouraging people to vote on any matter. In fact, it is, of course, part of our way of life. If the "Yes" advocates are more efficient at encouraging votes than the "No" advocates then so be it. That is how polls work, it does not lead to the poll result being improper. "Hitting" a poll is not, in itself, unethical.
Third, if you are claiming that I should reject this poll because it is possibly contaminated I think the same argument could be used to reject ALL of the World's religions on the basis that various interpreters could possibly have distorted the words of the founder.
