I forgot “How” in the above poll. By the time I realized this, three people had already voted… yet I was still in the edit window.

Would it have been OK to add options _after_ votes have been submitted?

Those of you who voted “yes” or “of course” in the above poll, were you aware that editing a poll after people have already voted results in all the votes being reset back to zero? Those three people who had already voted would have had their votes erased.

The answer that @Mean_Mr.Mustard couldn’t be arsed to think of (parking, post 1451) is:

I would love to park both our cars in the garage, but like most garages it’s too small. Were they designed in the days of skinny cars or something? A lot of people store the lawnmower, bikes, and so on in the garage, making it even tighter. Squeeze in there, struggle to open the door ad all that? Forget it. We park one inside and one leave one outside.

The poll: “I think garages need to be made bigger.” On a scale of 1-5 (1 strongly disagree, 2 disagree, 3 neutral, 4 agree, 5 strongly agree) with that statement.

_Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/1475))_

PS-We’re south of the Mason-Dixon. My home town is north of it, Mrs. L’s is south of it, but we both wish we could park both in the garage.

Were those of you who voted “no” or “what sort of monster…” in John’s poll aware that posters can change their votes, so even if the votes hadn’t been erased, no one would be stuck voting for something they were unhappy with?

Did you sometimes vote in a poll, then look at a couple other posts in the thread, and then notice that your vote in the poll(s) you just voted in were missing, so you had to vote again, and you never knew why that happened, but now, given the polls above, you now have a theory, namely, probably someone edited those polls while or just after you voted, which erased all the votes?
