On an Agorai poll, a "changed mind" is what the card counts when someone who has already voted picks a different choice. You can change your vote any time until the poll closes, using Change my vote. Each time someone does, the card adds a line such as "3 people changed their minds." If someone left a one-line reason for their first choice and other members pressed This convinced me on it, the card credits the switch to the reason that convinced the most people, for example "most after reading Ruth's reason." Two details matter here. A reason is tied to your first choice, so if you change your vote, your reason is cleared. And results stay hidden until you vote or the poll closes, so the count of changed minds only shows up as the poll goes on. This is a count of movement, not a record of who was persuaded by what. Votes in public conversations stay secret, so the card shows how many changed their minds without saying who.
