A letter published by the Clinton Herald challenges the accuracy and integrity of the newspaper's online poll concerning a proposed data center in Clinton, Iowa. The writer says the poll allowed people outside the city to vote and appeared to permit repeated voting after clearing browser data or refreshing the page.

The letter argues that the results should not be treated as a reliable representation of public opinion and calls for Clinton residents to receive a legitimate vote on the proposal. No data center developer or operator is identified in the article.
