"Gold standard" Iowa pollster lets slip, polls can be fake. J Ann Selzer

She denies wrongdoing, BUT, she lets out:
the idea that I intentionally set up to deliver this [krazy-bad poll] when I've never done that before, I've had plenty of opportunities to do it.
Opportunities for what, Ann?
@zullu & @jaroonn cited her Iowa poll, in https://community.gaytorrent.ru/topic/66338/breaking-harris-has-overtaken-trump-in-michigan/
She was 17 points off.
Some coverage in November, claimed
she planned to retire
she took a large payout from some lib. Kamabla campaign? I forget
Hypothetically, why might Kamabla pay her to do bad poll?
if "Dem cheat" had showed up - ballot dumps, late at night, mysterious, 2020-style - then her poll would have been "correct" 🙄
in any case, her poll gave Kamabla last-minute (but undeserved) boost of morale & headlines. Boost one side, suppress other side.
here at 7:04, MSNBC admits she was 17 points off.
