A sample's only useful though when it is in some way backed up by the reality check of a census. Since full polls do show up the flaws in sampled polls from time to time, it seems unwise to rely on a sample for an actual election?
Or is it that the error margin in a vote-by-mail is probably worse than that in a sampled poll of a thousand?
