Suppose someone did, indeed, poll everyone with a US ham license.

First question: who is going to front the six figures required to
send out the ballots even by bulk mail? The FCC?

No way - contrary to urban legend, for the last 10 years or so, all
government agencies pay full postage rates on everything they mail -
except for Congressional mailings, of course.

"What is your opinion of code testing for an amateur license?"

1) It should be totally abolished
2) It should be required only for Extra
3) It should be required only for Extra and General
4) It should be required for any license with HF privileges
5) It should be required for any amateur license
6) No opinion/don't care

Or you might find that the majority opinion was 6). What happens in
that case?

Or it's a tie between #6 and no response ???

No response would probably be the commonest item even if the ballots come
with return postage paid by the government.

Bottom line, who cares since the entire concept
is a joke anyway and stands NO chance of ever
happening.
