Dear Admin,

your polls are not very balanced. A vote for "10" has a higher weight than a vote for "1"

Example:

20 votes for "1"
20 votes for "10"

(20*1+20*10)/(20+20)= 5,5

Solutions:
-You can count all votings for "1" and "10" and count not the average voting
-Say that the threshold between "Yes" and "no" is 5,5 and not 5
-replace the "10" with a voting for "9"

(20*1+20*9)/(20+20)= 5

Dear Buffalo, this is well known, and I wrote about it some days ago in the forum. I keep this in mind when I summarize the result of a poll. So: no worries. And no, the voting stays as it is
