Will editing a poll during voting change the voting results?
It's not supposed to. I haven't had it change one yet. I remember on Y! that it reset, so you went with the original or started over.
Polls SHOULD start over when they're edited.
There is no way that poll results are accurate when the questions and/or possible answers are changed midstream unless the poll starts over. This is something that Y! did right.
A silly, but illustrative example...
Initial poll: Which do you like better? 1) Chocolate Cake, 2) Brussels Sprouts?
Edited poll: Which do you like better? 1) My child, 2) Chocolate Cake?
Imagine the results if half the respondents responded to the initial poll.
