Just you.
I find it interesting that there are many who think that double is clear. I think that 2♥ is clear, and that double is something that I would consider (but reject).
2♥ does not necessarily end the auction, so I can support spades if partner introduces them now (which I think is unlikely) or we can find a diamond fit if partner bids again. I am not going to suggest that hearts and spades are equal preferences on my hand when I hold 5 hearts and 3 spades.
I also made the mistake of not including my initial choice among the actions that I would consider. So there should be one more vote for 2♥ in the second poll.

I don't have a "delete my vote" button.

I assumed selecting the same bid in both polls was saying I didn't consider a second action. Will have to check with my English-as-a-second-language tutor, however.

You can seriously consider an action and then choose it;
You can also seriously consider an action and then not choose it.

Now I will have to scour all of the other polls that I messed up and change those.

Depends on the version of Precision being used. The most common modern variant uses a 14-16 NT.
