Poll: Ranked Choice: Should not be able to vote when all options are abstained

STR:

  • Initially all options are set to abstain
  • Correctly, the Vote button is disabled
  • Select one option and give it a rank
  • Correctly, the Vote button is now enabled!
  • Change it back to Abstain
  • The Vote button is still active and it’s possible to vote to completely Abstain!

This is pointless as the algorithm ignores all abstained options so this should be prevented so as not to record pointless votes and waste database rows.

@nat discovered this, I’m just recording it!
