... It was an open ended question asked of voters who (at least claim) to have voted for Harris. They were not picking from a list, they were just naming a name. And almost 1% of the folks who claim to have voted for Harris think TSF is the leader of the Dems. Some people are seriously confused.

Even asking someone who they voted for in the last election is a bit problematic. A lot of people just don't even remember.
