By presenting the results of this stretching-the-truth survey to people as science-y (or at least not admitting it was unsound), they were able to argue their case for months and months as if it was preordained.
They primed their audiences with fake statistics.

And since they can goose the numbers down there and just sheepishly smile about it when it’s over, they surely can do the same to goose numbers up here.
I guarantee that they rushed it to get done in time for the MLS BoG meeting in December 2016.

Check the emails from September to December 2016.

"If Precourt wants to move the team-there are a dozen cities clamoring for MLS franchises, including at least 2 municipalities represented by BSG-then he is out of here. Either way, the survey has his back."

Let's say you conduct a phone survey & ask the age range of every person you survey.
1 of the age groups is "over 65".
The person responds, "That's me, I'm over 65".
And then you end the survey.
Does that sound like a legit survey?

'My friend wants to know because early in the survey, the questioner asked his age. When he indicated that he was "over 65," the survey ended.'
