I've noticed when looking back at poll results that the number of voters doesn't always correspond with the number of votes.

For example, on this poll http://www.talkclassical.com/classical-music-discussion/poll-1874-these-works-do-you.html it says 7 votes for the Dohnányi violin concerto but only 6 names are listed.

Are these "private" votes, or deleted users, or actual miscounting of votes, or what?

I should add here that there was one poll I looked at yesterday - can't remember which one, and I'm damned if I'm going to look at several dozen of 'em to find the answer - where it was one of the more "obvious" voters that was missing - someone who'd voted "I don't like any" so that there were (I think) 3 votes counted but only 2 names listed. I think I'd have spotted that sort of discrepancy when the poll was still fresh, which suggests that a name actually disappeared over time - but I could be wrong there.

Thanks, Krummhorn.
Hopefully neither the addition nor subsequent removal of those votes will alter the fabric of reality as I know it. :lol:
