Why VeriPoll?:
In 2016, almost all of the polls for the Presidential race between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump listed Hillary Clinton as winning by double digit margins. Some polls even listed Hillary Clinton at a 98% chance of winning. Obviously, this didn’t turn out as the Pollsters predicted, but why were they so drastically wrong?
Who were they asking in their polls, and where were these polls being taken? It was very rare for a family member, friend, or coworkers to have been contacted to participate in any national poll.
The media’s national polls are also usually taken by popular vote. Historically, popular vote has not been effective in predicting elections. Therefore, Veripoll mimics the November Election process by utilizing the Electoral College map and providing the option to vote for more than just the two parties.
VeriPoll is strictly a database being presented through Front End User Interface. Therefore, only relying on facts and numbers and minimizing any bias.
VeriPoll was created to allow everyone the opportunity to have their voices heard in presidential election polls. We are committed to providing the most accurate and honest poll by giving all voters across the United States access to cast their votes. By verifying submitted information against voter records, the Verified Poll will be able to provide the most accurate, unbiased data without influence from outside sources that are unable to vote in US Elections.
Our main goal is to provide a platform that simulates the election and conveniently displays the data.
How VeriPoll Works:
Submit your vote on the home page to cast your vote and your information goes into a secure database. This database is linked to different forms, pivot tables, maps, and charts that will update on the website periodically.
VeriPoll takes the information the user provides and checks it against the respective state’s voter registration website. If the Voter Status comes back as a successful match, the user’s vote will then become “Verified” and will be counted as a Verified vote. Verification must be performed to provide the most accurate data possible. Verification lowers the probability of counting duplicate submissions, unregistered voters, and reduces the influence from outside sources that are unable to vote in US Elections.
VeriPoll allows multiple submissions to be placed by the same user. However, the database will flag it as a duplicate vote and will update the information of the user to the most recently submitted information.
