You're kidding, right? Nenshi's trolling of people on Twitter is pretty much legendary and is frequently the subject of clickspam articles on news aggregators. It's part of his charm, and his general demeanour on Twitter is not likely to cost him votes. In situations like this, the specific ignorance of people not understanding what the phrase "when did you stop beating your wife" actually means might cost him, but only to the point of getting 97.5% of the vote instead of 97.6%.

That's the point, actually. It highlights the offensiveness of the tone of Ezra's questions.
