Subject: [PATCH] fix: skip posting vote results when poll data cannot be read

When Gary cannot read EasyPoll results (API failure, permissions issue,
or poll deleted), skip posting results to channels instead of showing
confusing all-zero vote counts.

Now logs a warning and silently continues the cleanup flow without
posting misleading results.
