Seeing tons of these at the moment:

    RT @MichelleObama: RT if youve already voted for President Obama today! #VoteObama


Those seem valid though, no? The intent of the RT is to say "I voted for Obama"


Well they would be mostly actual votes, but it causes Obama voters on Twitter to be more likely to mention having voted than Romney voters. You'd probably get more accurate results if you eliminated all these.
