After Labor Day = Start of Campaign Season

Anyway, how are those demographics even close to being representative of registered voters in the district?

Don't buy that line. Way too small stretch of time and the website is only one page and looks like it was written by a 15 year old, just enough time to react to the poll.

Don't ask me. Ask Price's folks who have been very busy the past 48 hours, who don't seem to share your enthusiasm for it being immediately dismissible.

Again its officially campaign season now, and you still can't answer how the poll's demographics reflects the registered voters of the district. Quite simply it looks like Lawson's campaign pulled this poll right out of his ass the demographics are off by so much, hell the Lawson campaign provided the voter rolls to use.

So what makes you think those very same primary voters will not show up in the General election which is hotly contested as well?

Remember the part of poll's premise (on which its validity rests) which you are subsequently trying to defend is 9.7% turnout figures among democrats under 40.

Which cannot be disputed using the board of election poll data. You can try to dispute it using hand waving techniques, but you haven't provided any clear and solid evidence. You just laugh and say it's impossible. If that works for you...

Meanwhile, you can count on me to present additional news and events from the 4th. Given recent events and how Price's campaign appears to quickly change strategy based on those events, I may have to filter some out if I deem it strategically viable.

Of course we have a stalemate here because you can't/ refuse to answer the question.
