@dansup @feditips @Gargron It can be argued that you should be able to edit a poll and keep the voting data, although this can create some other tricky issues.
Here's the argument:
Let's suppose you've made a typo or an oversight, but you don't want to now go back and collect the votes you've already gathered (because even here, without the algorithm driven timeline, people keep it moving). What do you do then? Creating a new poll for this seems a bit much.
