Strange how these polls work

This past week's poll question wanted to know if Bessemer Mayor Ed May was doing a good job or not.

The poll was up for nearly a week and 90 percent thought he was doing a horrible job.

At 9 p.m. Sunday it was still that way. But between 9 p.m. and 8 a.m. today 131 votes poured into the poll saying that he is doing an outstanding job of running the city.

Many are wondering where these votes came from, sort of like in the 2006 runoff election when he — after barely campaigning — scored 58 percent of the total vote.

Some things make you want to say Mmm...
