116. As I described above, poll voting *COULD* have been designed differently, but it wasn't.

While this is generally true (the server must store those PMs
somewhere), this isn't true of votes in polls.

As I described above, poll voting *COULD* have been designed to
just add your vote to a tally and remember the fact that you
voted at all, but it wasn't. Instead, it was designed to store
the actual vote that you cast.
