I like the idea and think we should install it.

OK, I installed it, but there is a basic problems with this modification.

The only way to select a poll so a vote can be changed is to make it a "write -in" poll. This means that, unless I rewrite the code, a user cannot change his vote unless we also allow the same usergroup to be able to write in new options.

This is OK for some polls, for example if we are asking about editors or what is your favorite movie.

However, for more fixed polls (like a few of the examples you cite), a write-in would not enhance the poll.
