When a user delegates to another, they may wish to know the status of the delegate's vote. Have they voted, or delegated to another, or taken no action? Without this information, the delegating user cannot know if a vote has been cast on their behalf.
Additionally, in the case of votes that close, there is a difference between a delegate status (voted/delegated/nothing yet) at a moment, and a status that is definitive (the voting is frozen because of a deadline or an administrative action). Ideally we can present the difference between a status that may change, and one that is fixed.
