911 SURVEY RESULTS This survey was conducted between May 28th and June 15th, 2002. The survey was scientific in the fact that only one reply per email address was allowed and verification of that email address was sent to the email address that was voting for validity. The person voting using an email address had to respond back with a verification they did vote using that email address. These are the results of how readers answered the survey. 16,488 readers completed the survey. There were 1,011 email addresses that were discounted. Those votes were not counted because the user did not verify their email address by return email. The results below are also broken down by age and region of country. No political party affiliation was asked on the survey form. Only age and state the voter was from was asked.
