After this Wednesday's election, all of America seems to be
in a debacle on just how the polls were so inaccurate. One possibility proposed
was that of people voting for third parties. Well, after reading this article,
it is probable that third parties weren't the only things that kept U.S. citizens
from voting for Trump or Clinton. In fact, the write-in ballot may have caused
such faultiness.
This article was written by Dan Evon, editor and chief and
co-founder of Social News Daily. Dan's article receives him more than 2.5
million internet views per month. Dan wrote this article to explain how it is uncertain
that 15,000 is an accurate number of how many people who actually voted for Harambe
in the past election, but we can make a ball-park estimation that it's
somewhere around there.
The author establishes his purpose quoting others' tweets
and blogs. He quotes David Leavitt, as well as Men's Humor. By doing this, Evon
gives way to explaining how people could have received untruthful information
from the media. People and companies with big following may have heard of these
numbers officially, or they could have easily made them up. It is hard to say
with such little information from any direct sources. Dan is able to explain to
his readers how things could get misinterpretated by reviewing the events of
Tuesday night.
Dan is able to show the ridiculousness of this situation
while relieving the hostility of many democrats. He does this by appealing to
logic and explaining why this alleged incident could be false. It is reassuring
to hear that America did not waste as many votes on this as I heard rumored. I
condemn Evon on posting an article that articulates what REALLY happened and
understand why he has such ethos via the internet.
