I saw it go up and then back down and hoped it was just someone miss-clicking. Shameful. Luckily, the person is also stupid: if you wait for there to be a lot of votes no one will notice. Everyone should consider this answer to have one more vote than it does.

The karma going up, and then back down could - in theory - represent a withdrawn vote, or someone changing their mind.

Could be. I figured not meaning to vote was more likely than a mind-change in the span of like 10 ten seconds on a math problem we've been talking about for days.
