Online polls are shared with conservative groups and people vote and vote and vote, they arent scientific.

Online polls are partisan republican circle jerks. They participate over and over.

Go to a major right wing board, or monitor some of their facebook posts. The literally link 20 different polls asking people to go vote on them, and if possible to vote often,

Making them complete garbage.

Hillary on the other hand would barely be able to fill a large living room with free tickets. Low enthusiasm. It doesnt bode well for her supporters actually going out to the polls.
You better believe that Hillary supporters will be voting in droves, even if for some of them it is to keep that sociopath Trump out of the White House.

Most of those online polls are click bait. Motivated people can - and do - vote over and over. All you have to do is clear your cache. And even more motivated people can use votebots which do the same thing.

You've been told this before. Yet you seem to think these online poll results have something to do with reality. It's an - odd - mental quirk.

I enjoyed the denial during the Romney campaign. I wish more people were like the OP. It made for good entertainment on election night on FOX. Unfortunately, I think even they realize this is a lost cause.

The Democratic party in FL has been pushing hard to get their constituents to vote by mail. I am a registered Democrat in FL and got at least 4 different phone calls from my local Democratic party - encouraging me to sign-up for vote-by-mail.

We are now seeing this is working. This is going to help Democrats in off-year elections as well because they generally don't vote in high numbers in non--presidential years. But if the ballot shows up to their house in the mail, maybe they will be more likely to vote. Once you signup for vote-by-mail, FL allows it to continue going forward.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Nailed it.

They want people to think the election is over and crooked Hillary can't be beat. They overweight the democrats in the polls to suppress the vote and turnout. It won't work. Too many people see through their fraud.

Online polls are not in any way scientific.
