If you're not sure which side is right and you just want to side with one that is currently winning, then why vote at all? It is currently winning in any case, so your vote is not required, and you obviously not sure which option is right anyway. > I propose that a poll's results tabulation be hidden until after the poll We already discussed it, and it was rejected. > <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandwagon_effect>.

If you are not sure if you understand the matter enough to have an informed opinion and not just jump on the bandwagon, please refrain from voting.
