How about savaging this poll?

Dan Savage has called on his readers to respond to a poll. Here's the description:

"A religious right-wing conservative State Senator is trying to make [death-with-dignity] illegal," writes a reader. "A state senator, along with a couple of anti-choice religious-based organizations, are freeping (artificially inflating the #s by getting out-of-area votes) a poll on a newspaper site in Kalispell, with a plan to get a big headline that they won the poll. Normally I wouldn't bother with such stuff. But Montana is the smallest of small town politics--and every little thing matters."

Go here, Sloggers, vote "no."

I'm always happy to give Dan Savage an assist. This is the poll in question:

Should State Lawmakers Vote to Ban Assisted Suicide?

Yes
40%
No
60%

I don't usually tell you how to vote. I think you can figure it out.
