Heads up that they're running the poll to get the email addresses of the recipients - can't vote without giving them your info.

Just give info@rawstory.com or something

Yeah, I know, it's just not really worth the time, as it's gonna be a completely unscientific poll anyway. Plus, looks like they're tying your vote to the email address via the submission form - I'm guessing that's a single post to the database, so not terribly convinced they have privacy in mind. That they've got a checkmark to confirm that you're not an EU citizen means the submission form doesn't meet GDPR privacy standards.
