Fruit juice is twinned. Can you edit these polls?

That's no problem it gives a test whether people respond the same way both times.

Actually they significantly don't.

Yes, sorry. I noticed, but editing polls is not unproblematic.

I believe editing polls resets them, so there's no reason to do it if it's just an aesthetically unpleasant mistake that doesn't hurt the accuracy of the results.
