Forum polling

Why is it that percentages  in forum polls are based on (votes for option/total votes) instead of (votes for option/total voters)?

As is now if a multiple choice poll has 4 options and everyone voting chooses all the choices then all 4 choices will show 25% despite 100% approval. All this does is effectively shrink a graph and hide the minute differences in polls with lots of options and a poll with 20 options barely sees an option go above 5% despite taking on a large majority of the votes.

If the latter were implemented it would make reading poll results more easy and intuitive to comprehend. I know the forum is still actively updated and I hope this can be considered
