interesting...

Take a look at the design of the web-page. It *appears* quite pro-Hillary. In most elections, there is a statistically significant increase in votes for the person who's name is listed first. Of course, the candidates are listed in alphabetical order by last name so appearances are deceiving. Anyway, so I looked a bit further

Now, when I read them, the google ads were: 1st (and most noticeable) "Barack Obama Exposed. Get the report on the real Barack Obama" and 2nd) The Hillary Clinton Campaign Website. Obviously, these two links are not 'fair and balanced'. Of course, being simple embedded links chosen by some Google algorithm, this is also not purposeful... still, scrolling down, there is not a single link for any of the republicans/independent nor could I find the Obama campaign web-site.

The major concern with this site is not that it is biased (not purposely anyway), but that it lets people vote each and every day. Does anyone know if this can be fixed? Sorry, I am not terribly savvy in the ways of the interweb with all of its tubes and stuff...

Thoughts?
