Hi Alice,

I appreciate that you are asking "please don't take the poll more than
once" but will you be able to make sure nobody votes more than once? If
not, I don't think your results will be valid.

I ask because, today I kindly asked during a zoom call I was co-hosting
that was addressing the HCA Options and Climate and Environmental Justice.
I asked people to stay on topic in the chat and to refrain from asking
questions outside of the stated parameters of the discussion. A few didn't
respect this and continued to bog down the chat with other issues that fed
their particular agendas. It felt to me to be similar to a tactic some use
on LT- respond quickly and multiple times to bury other's concerns and lead
others away from the stated topic.

My guess (sadly) is that many will do something similar with your poll to
sway the results in a certain direction, if you do not have a way to
prevent this.

If you do have a way to make sure 'one person, one vote', I will
participate.

Thank you,
Staci
