I went for iterations - up, down, up, down, up, down. So it seems to track. I left an upvote to make sure it stuck when I come back in a few hours to revisit.
So was the final state of your vote down or did you change it afterwards? Did you test attempting to upvote twice in a row, downvote twice in a row, etc? :)
I followed your testing instructions on your comment. Test passed.
new user so pardon my ignorance but I dont have a downvote button. Do I need to enable it somewhere?
You need a certain amount of karma to downvote. I think it's 500, but I'm not sure because I don't have that much yet. :)
Edit: it's confirmed at 501: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12074198

A few weeks ago I recently obtained the downvote ability at 500 karma.

Now put that in a loop to see if they have any memory leaks :)
You are on some kind of genius crowd sourced testing thing, you should start a SaaS!

There is a bug after you undo your vote for the 500th time :)
