Vote track

[Thomas von der Elbe]

Very good! .... and again, what a difference to try to imagine something 
working compared to actually play with it!

And I take back my request to stick the link-track to the top of the 
screen. It would ruin this floating impression of the vote-track. Which 
is perfect to make clear some of its functionality (or at least let 
people start to suspect its yet undiscovered functionalities :-)

One question: why not sort the vote-arrows by size? It would make some 
sense, wouldn't it?

Are the placeholdersjust to make it look better for small polls with 2 
or 3 people or is there another reason?
