I'd like to know:

What are the odds that out of 124,940 votes, all seven categories would be scoring evenly at 14%?

That must be either an error, or a fluke. Either way it's a statistical anomaly.

Oh it's quite simple, I have several server clusters running bots to rig the votes and keep them at 14%.

No but really I've noticed that too. I also notice that polls tend to last more along the lines of 3 months instead of a month >.>

The numbers don't add up Wink

I haven't exactly prioritized, much since I hate digging through other people's code. I'm closer to removing it rather than fixing it to be completely honest.

No worries, I just thought it was weird when I noticed it.

I would have given the polls a 7/10 anyway. Some were just lame, but normally they were neat to see.

Kill it, leave it, reset it, doesn't matter.

Very few polls are good for anything, I think we've just turned to using them for entertainment more than anything else.
