Funny that this differs so much from the complimentary vote. Obviously
fewer people voted on that, but I'm wondering if there was some
self-selection biassing process going on in one or both votes (e.g.
maybe the no-change crowd care more on average, and were therefore
more willing to put time into a second vote).

Any thoughts?
