NY1 (Time Warner cable) conducts "snap polls" on many of its shows. Viewers
are asked their opinions on sports or politics or whatever, and can click on
the  choices on their remote controls for the letters "A" or "B" or "C." The
viewer  voting results are shown at the end of the programs. Only one vote is
tallied  per remote control. (I tried pushing twice.)

"Snap poll" seems like a natural name for this, but the term "snap poll"

poll." Is it in the OED revision?
