They hide the statistics of the people that have already voted, I assume that it's so you don't just vote whatever everyone else voted - but you can just view the poll's statistics before you login, then vote after you log in. Do they just kind of hope people won't work that out?

I know this is kind of a random topic... you don't have to reply

Or they just assumed (correctly, for the most part) that people don't care enough to log in and out.

Why would people care about what's already been voted?  It's your opinion.

Who really cares enough to do that? And who really needs the results to be THAT accurate?

You can view the results but it makes you ineligible to vote. It's just the way the system is, it's always like this in nearly every singly voting system I've used in the past. The voting should be about your opinion, why would you want to see what everyone else did and only then vote yourself?
