Summary line has three parts; the Poll reported "Total votes in the poll", the fixed phrase "Votes Cast", then a "total votes for today".
Total votes in the poll - the integer provided by the site for the total votes in the poll since inception.
Total votes for today - the summation of the various shows "Today" votes. Internally fixed point, displayed as integer. Rounding will occur.

Well Roy, I vote hourly; I believe though it only counts one a day. The problem is, it's hard to tell if a particular vote was counted. I figure if I vote when I vote for TV_vote, then I'm pretty sure to get my vote in each day.

Given I'm voting TV_vote typically 8-12 time a day, it's hard to explain only 36 votes; on the other hand, if it's only counting one a day, 36 suddenly becomes very believable.

A new thread; we can do a new thread.... tomorrow ;-) (unless someone beats me to it; feel free to just throw a pointer here, I'll follow along :-) )

Does the poll ever close? Has the BBC forgotten it is up? Will they report back on the results? who the hell knows?

I voted anyway!
