It's suggesting two things in one: clicking down or up should first cancel the vote instead of directly replacing it. I think it's more natural the proposed way. It never bothered me but it makes a lot of sense. | |

I was just testing to see if down-voting removed the up-vote first which would have the desired effect when the user didn't have enough rep. I understand your point about it not immediately down-voting. | |

formatting to clarify that the system is working as expected

| Sep 10, 2009 at 7:22 | comment | added | Richard Szalay | I just tried downvoting your answer (to test - I have < 100 rep on meta) and it does not remove the upvote, it only displays an error. | |
