    That’s one reason why most of these polls are garbage. I personally haven’t used a home landline phone since the 90’s.

      Yeah but they adjust based on results, so they know for every person that says they’re voting R on a landline there are 3 unreported D votes. There is a methodology further than writing down what people say.
