So, breaking that down, surveys are mostly done by people on the right. And its "generally them that are stupid enough" (so people on the right are stupid) "to do phone surveys" So whilst op does seem to think you have to be stupid to do phone surveys, what they are trying to say is that people on the right are the only ones stupid enough to do them.

And guess what, their representatives don’t have to represent them. They can vote however they want. That depends on the state. While there are no federal provisions on how an elector should vote, several states do have rules requiring them to follow the popular vote. Additionally, the popular vote is used to select which electors (a.k.a. which parties electors) are sent. permalink fedilink source parent
