Republicans will use this as a reason not to accept election results.
They’re flooding the zone with GOP polls so they can game the polling averages and claim election was stolen if Dems do better than expected. RCP and @NateSilver538 are getting played. https://t.co/OK0PidqxNw

We need to start talking about the flood of GOP-aligned polls in the poll averages.

In national polling there are 5-6 GOP polls for every Dem aligned poll.
In PA 3 of 5 public polls we have from Oct are from GOP aligned firms.
Become too much of a thing to ignore.
NYT/Siena finds stronger results for Dems than the current poll averages (which are largely driven now by GOP pollsters like Trafalgar) across the four most critical Senate races.

The 49-44 Fetterman lead only *partly* after the debate. https://t.co/fBSn2CNQeC pic.twitter.com/tiCPBXXEy1
GOP polls have really been flooding the zone in Georgia. There have been five GOP polls of GA-SEN released this week. Zero nonpartisan polls. Last week ECU released a poll showing Warnock up 49-47. Only nonpartisan poll we've had.

After a flood of GOP outlier polls in all of these races designed to create stories about an impending red wave and digging into why Dems are losing ("is it crime/inflation?"), NYT/Siena suggests not much has changed in these races in the past two weeks. https://t.co/NexzmALJcf
