An informal public poll - Supreme Court Justices

Heh - bet they were not expecting that response - from Red State:

Democrats Attempt Twitter Poll About SCOTUS Justices. It Goes…Poorly
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC), the organization working to elect Democrats to the United States Senate, posted a poll on their Twitter account Friday afternoon on the topic of Supreme Court Justices. It was an apparent attempt to encourage their followers on the issue of SCOTUS nominations — nominations that of course come from the President but must then clear the hurdle of the Senate. So far, the poll has not gone well for them.

The poll, which is still live for voting and scheduled to remain so for two more days, asks a simple question, “Do you want more Supreme Court justices like Ruth Bader Ginsburg or do you want more justices like Brett Kavanaugh?”

The trouble with a poll like this is that while donors to the DSCC are obviously supportive of Democrats and their policies, and the majority of the DSCC’s Twitter followers likely are as well, Twitter is a public forum, and that poll isn’t exclusively accessible by Democrats.

Here are the results as of May 3rd:

And the poll should have still been running today but I went to the site and found this:

Had this poll simply reached the end of it's allotted time, it would have shown the final results and not allowed any more votes. The Democrats did not like the results they got so they pulled the entire thing offline. Didn't fit the narrative so get rid of it.
