Uncounted

Cell Phone Users Not in Election Polls

Wondering why you're never called for any of the dozens of polls that are published every week? It would seem that the law of averages would mean that they'd call eventually, right?

Well, not if you're a cellular-only person. Those of us who have opted out of paying for a land line--because when you have unlimited nights and weekends and free long distance, do you really need a home phone?--simply aren't a part of the polls. Pollsters say it doesn't matter because we're not likely to vote anyhow. Here's hoping those of us who are living in the brave new world surprise the pollsters and help elect a brave new president.
