Karma-based polls

Hello,

It would be nice if polls would also indicate karma sum.

Right now, all member's opinion has the same weight, but this is not very fair in cases like the "Would you miss the Council..." poll. I'd like to be able to also see:

a) The sum of the karma of the voters per answer at the time they voted (i.e. do not count the karma the gained *after* voiting)
b) The sum of the current karma of the voters per answer.

For example:

Which letter do you like more?
a) A (10 votes, 150/157 karma)
b) B (5 votes, 1789/2500 karma)
c) C (170 votes, 10/12 karma)

Accompanying graphs would also be nice.

I believe that every community member's vote has an equal weight. So no on making some people less valuable.

I don't think reporting karma by answer devalues any one person's vote since the karma is an aggregate of all the voters and the individual vote is just that - an individual vote. Publishing karma aggregates does not get the OP where he wants to be - changing the weight of a vote.

What the OP needs, if the goal is to weigh votes by karma, is to have people have as many votes as they do karma points. Then karma will make a difference in a poll.
