What should have happened instead?:
Some kind of error should be reported to the user

Derived Requirement
The voting dialog must handle error states when a user is logged out or offline. Instead of remaining in an infinite loading state, the system should:
- Detect when the user is logged out and display a clear error message prompting login before voting.
- Detect when the network is offline and display an error message about connectivity.
- Ensure the loading state does not persist indefinitely without user feedback.
