POLLS BE BROKEN you have to make it so you can't see the poll when you are offline or they are unfair though I voted for who I really wanted to win I can tell someone right now who is winning. Or make it unviewable until the polls are closed.

They're meant to be that way. It's to prevent people from making alts to up their votes or vote for themselves.
I also don't see how it's unfair that you can see them when you're offline... it's just the same as if you were online.

You can do the same even if you're online by clicking on "view result" anyway so I don't see a point in your suggestion.

I think Jose means like make it where you can't see the results first so you don't automatically pick whoever's winning

You shouldn't be able to unless you click "view results" first, though.
And honestly, if someone really wants to choose the person who is winning, who are we to stop them? You choose your votes the way you wish to, whether it be because they're your friend, you believe the deserve it, or you're just randomly clicking because you have no idea who anyone is.

I'm not agreeing, I'm just clarifying

You can view the poll results by hitting the "View Results" button anyway. You don't even need to be offline. They're not broken; they're meant to be viewable. The reason we did it this way is so that people can see who's voting for who, in case people try to make extra accounts for extra votes. It's happened before.
