It should be possible to put an entire poll in one comment, with machine-readable distinctions between different replies; and poll responses should not interact with pollster karma. (It might be nice if one got a karma point for answering a poll, to incentivize participation, but that’s not so much an elegance matter.)
Provide a solution for polling in posts and comments. Something more elegant than using multiple comments + a karma sink.
An +/- agree button partially fixes this.
Polling seems (IMHO) to work very well given the current tech. Unpack “elegant” for me.
