A Tale of Two Polls

Internet polls are anything but scientific. Non-voters can cast votes in an online poll; if they know how to manipulate cookies, they can cast more than one. Therefore, we're offering up these results in two local polls in the For What It's Worth Department.

First, a local news site currently has a poll featuring the Colbert County Commission seat held by David Black. According to current results, if the election were held today, Tyrus Mansell would defeat Black by a 4 to 1 margin. Interesting to say the least.

Second, another local news magazine is currently running a poll on the Lauderdale County Superintendent's race. As we write this, Jerry Hill is leading with 44%. A runoff between Hill and Gary Dan Williams seems like a given, at least if this poll is close to actual voter views. Jon Hatton is third in the poll, with Scott Jones bringing up the rear. 

As for the Lauderdale primary, it is 18 days away, and much could change between now and then. We suggest that everyone pray that the best candidate wins.
