That's an interesting idea. I think it would only be useful for very small numbers of voters, though. Probably 10 or less. After that, the color bands would get too small and too numerous to be easily understood. It'd be fun to come up with some kind of visual voter representation though.

We don't keep a change history or multiple versions of your polls, but I agree, that would be cool. I'll think about it, but I'm pretty sure the effort required would outweigh the benefit. If we move to a community-driven review system like we're considering, it would be unnecessary anyway.

Sure we do. It's just that you already answered him so nicely.

Sure, if the full results were made public by the author, there would be some sort of results page to view them.

First, because that'd make for an awfully large results page if your poll had many votes. Mostly though, it's a privacy issue. Many poll takers ask for personal information using fill-in-the-blank or essay questions, and we don't want to inadvertently expose a voters details by showing those results to everybody. We're considering making it an option for the poll creator, but the default will likely always be to keep them private.
