Subj: Judge Kavanaugh nomination

Dear Senator:

I am the webmaster of the "Million Dollar Way," a blog which takes its name from the nickname Williston residents gave US Highway 2 & 85 on the north wide of Williston following the first oil boom back in the 1950s.

The blog is focused on the Bakken oil boom. A google search of "Bakken oil blog" suggests it is the most frequently visited blog for those interested in this subject. At the height of the boom it generated about 6,000 "visits" per day. Now, that number is around 3,000.

Rarely I place a poll on the blog. Today's poll was quick and to the point and will be "live" for only 24 hours:

• Kavanaugh: "thumbs up" or" thumbs down."

The committee hearing in which the accused and the accuser testified ended about two hours ago. The poll results as of 8:07 p.m. September 27, 2018:

• Kavanaugh:
• thumbs up: 49 votes (86%)
• thumbs down: 8 votes (14%)

The poll is unscientific; the likely voter is someone who is interested in the Bakken oil boom.

For your consideration.

Most respectfully,


Bruce Oksol
