How do I remove the (+) vote prefix in ideation?

For feature requests that have a lot of upvotes (over 1000), the count is getting truncated. 

I have modified the theme stylesheets to change the font size, which has helped, but only if the sign is removed. The value displayed seems to be generated in compiled code and not in the widget itself.  My first attempt was to a CSS rule for .vote-score.positive:first-letter to make the font size 1px and transparent.  That actually works in most browsers, but there's a bug in Firefox where there's whitespace before the + that's being treated as the first letter.  The isn't that big of an issue b/c people rarely downvote in large numbers (if ever)

My current workaround is to add this code to the bottom of the Idea List widget, but it does cause a little bit of a flicker initially.  Also, I have to continually call it because paging through feature requests load new content via AJAX.

<script>
    var updateFn = function() {
        jQuery(".vote-score.positive").each((i, el) => { el.innerHTML = el.innerHTML.replace("+", "")});    
    };
    window.setInterval(updateFn, 500);
</script>
