Petition Spoofs California Racial Preferences
Ballot Measure With Call for
15% Asians on NBA, NFL Teams


Cybercast News Service, by Kenny Xu

Original Article

A Change.org petition organized online by a group opposed to racial preferences in California is satirically demanding that professional sports teams in the state allocate 15 percent of their roster spots to Asians.The petition, which says that would make Asian representation on the teams proportional to California’s Asian population, as of Monday has collected more than 4,300 signatures.The petition was organized by Jason Xu (no relation to the author), a member of the No on 16 campaign, which was started to oppose California Proposition 16, a ballot measure that would repeal Proposition 209, California’s nondiscrimination ordinance passed in 1996.

Rasmussen Reports noticed something very fishy about polling




Donald Trump's favorite pollster was the least accurate in the midterms

Rasmussen's final poll was the least accurate of any of the 32 polls. They had the Republicans ahead nationally by one point. Democrats are currently winning the national House vote by 8.6 points. That's an error of nearly 10 points.





Of course, it's possible for any pollster to have one inaccurate poll. Fortunately, for statistical purposes, Rasmussen released three generic ballot polls in the final three weeks of the 2018 campaign.
The average Rasmussen poll had Democrats ahead by 1.7 points on the generic ballot. That's an underestimation of their eventual position of nearly 7 points. This made Rasmussen's average poll more inaccurate than any other pollster.
