  • Poll ballots seen with more than the allowed maximum number of answers

    Posting a poll and specifying a maximum number of answers per ballot (e.g. limiting to 1 answer out of 4 possible answers), when that poll message is subsequently imported into QWKnet nodes, it appears that user can cast ballots with more the maximum number of votes per ballot (i.e. selecting more answers than the pollster desired).

    I should add some validation when importing ballots to not allow more than the expected number of answers (votes) per ballot.
