    Poll problem?

    The way poll numbers are re-calculated seems to be wrong, it doesn't seem to adjust poll numbers when a vote is withdrawn, either in the "taken away" option or in a new voted-for option?

    I've tried voting all different ways, and then withdrawing my vote, and it's never counted my votes wrong.

    Only way I think things go wrong is if the poll is edited while someone is voting (or withdrawing their votes.)

    I noticed in a few polls recently that the numbers were one short of the amount of people who had voted

    i like the cartoon in the latest Private Eye showing gene kelly dancing round the lamppost in his mac "singing and dancing in the rain" with the (not verbatim) caption "proof positive that men CAN multitask under adverse conditions"
