Silvia Scandar Mahan, wife of San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan, shared a KRON4 poll claiming her husband led the California governor's race, though the poll was still open and easily manipulated.
X's Community Notes quickly flagged the poll, noting it could be gamed by refreshing the page and that reputable pollsters actually place Mahan in sixth with only 5% support.
The incident highlights ongoing concerns about the reliability of online polls and the importance of fact-checking tools like Community Notes in countering misinformation during election campaigns.
