   Looking into this more, on Vertrauen you poll is msgnum 56809 in my sync_sys   
   messbase (it'll be a different number in different message bases).   
   The message has more replies (not votes):   
   56810 (from me)   
   56814 (from you)   
   56815 (from Gamgee)   
   56816 (from Dan Clough)   
   56818 (from me)   
   56825 (from Keyop)   
   56832 (from you)   
   56834 (from Keyop)   
   56852 (from you)   
   58653 (from Gamgee)   
   56854 (from me)   
   56855 (from you)   
   56856 (from you)   
   56857 (from Nightfox)   
   56858 (from Gamgee)   
   56859 (from me)   
   56860 (from me)   
   as well as ballot replies (votes):   
   56811 (from Gamgee @ PALATIR)   
   56813 (from KrAAB @ KRAABY)   
   56817 (from Codefenix @ CONCHAOS)   
   56826 (from Nightfox @ DIGDIST)   
   56851 (from Janus @ HALCYON)   
      
   so... 5 votes is correct, at least here on Vertrauen. Maybe DDMsgReader is   
   counting other non-ballot replies as votes?
