...what could possibly be the point of doing it if you don't release the results until the votes have been tallied, and even then, adjust them based on actual results?

To me, this is like sending out RSVP invitations for a dinner, collecting responses and determining the number who plan to attend, but then not sharing this information with the dinner hostess until the evening of the dinner AFTER the guests have arrived, and adjusting the RSVP "attending" total based on how many actually arrive -- would this not defeat the purpose of RSVP invitations?
