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>
