<p>This is a bug introduced after the fix to <a href="http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/51266/4-more-votes-needed-to-delete-this-question">this issue</a>. See my comment to Jarrod Dixon's answer on that question: It always reports the total number of votes needed to delete, without subtracting the number of votes already cast.</p> <p>Edit: This has been fixed - see <a href="http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/51266/4-more-votes-needed-to-delete-this-question/51366#51366">Jarrod's comment</a>.</p>
