  Can you release the total # of votes this poll received? I'm guessing more than the number of people at the forum?

  Hi Luke,
  Megan Barry was definitely there, as was every other candidate with the exception of Bill Freeman, which is why he isn't represented in this poll.
  Thanks,
  Knight

  I was there yesterday and don't even remember Megan Barry being present. Guess that says how memorable her performance was. Guessing these poll numbers are rigged, since she is in "first place". That or it was the vodka!

  Hi Jim,
  Appreciate your concerns and wanted to clarify two things:

  1. This is by no means a scientific poll, though we did set it up so that it accepts just one vote per cookie per day. (And it closes after one day.) This is an attempt to prevent the same person from mass voting, though obviously no system is fail-safe.

  2. The poll is open to everyone who followed the debate in person as well as on our live streamed video and Twitter. We had 12 Twitter ambassadors and three journalists whose job was to cover the event in real time for the people who couldn't attend in person.
  Hope that helps. This is an important moment for Nashville and our primary message is to get out the vote.

  There is no way that this is accurate. There were barely more than 30 people there that weren't staff.
