Weighted does seem like a bit of a shenanigan, unless it's re-weighted for voting likelihood (i.e. young people respond to polls less, but also vote less, though perhaps not equally).
However, Clark is ahead of Wright in both formats, so at the very least it should help to consolidate the progressive vote around him, even if the Wildrose may still argue based on unweighted that they are the strategic choice for anyone-but-Dirks voters.
