I meant "polls are broken" as "polls or referenda do not give an accurate representation of the population's views because the turnout is low and the people that do vote skew towards the negative", not "polls are technically kaput". Online polls are especially bad as all it takes is one influencer to say something and the poll is raided.

Add to that that with FANDOM's polls, it just records votes, not who votes, so it's vulnerable to manipulation. It doesn't distinguish between a poweruser and a troll's third throwaway. Polls are fun to have "who's your favorite character" on the main page, but not something you want to build community decisions on.
