After downvoting an answer the counter is set to -1 (correct). But after clicking "arrow up" to remove the downvote (e.g. it was an accident), the counter does not go back to 0, it goes to +1. The math doesn't add up here and it seems that after accidentally downvoting something there is no way to reverse the action without upvoting:
The designer/coder has decided that one has to up/down-vote again to reset the up/down vote 🙂

Yes. If you upvote, the downvote is canceled and the upvote is your new vote. If you really just want to cancel your vote, you have to click down (in this case) again. The hover text also tells you this (at least it did for me with "Click to cancel upvote"). 🙂
I know, confusing. But that's the way this is now.

Hmm, I can do I on Jelena's question... and Sajid's answer here 🙂 Using Desktop Chrome.
OK, thanks for clarification! So it's not (-1) + 1 = 0 but (-1) + (-1) = 0. Genius! The hover text is quite delayed, I wouldn't know there was one if it wasn't for your comment. Really brilliant design, soooo intuitive and world-class. </sarcasm off>
