In the new SAPCA poll, the number of voters is claimed to be 47. However, this isn't true. A number of these votes are simply View Results clickers. That means there's the wrong impression that 47 people have thought things through and voted for someone.

This is why I am proposing a change to the system. Let the Total Votes display the number of people that actually clicked the "Vote" button. Meanwhile, I think there should be a box to the left that displays the number of people that clicked the "View Results" button.

I like this because it won't give the wrong impression. As I often say in the real world, I'd prefer a harsh reality to a sugar-coated lie.

And basic subtraction. Add up all the votes in one category and subtract it from the total votes. Better than additional forum software? Probably. Takes a tad longer? Probably.
