Vote Caculation Errors

Hi - i also have a problem with photopost calculating votes correctly at the end of a competition

basically the votes get tallied and then the shots are shown by vote - everything is sweet - what i think happens is that someone moves their image to another category (usually someone who hasn't won) then the votes go haywire - the winner might show 1 vote when they have 10 votes etc

i can usually fix this by re enabling the votes and voting on the winning image and the votes are re tallied then i remove my vote and end the vote and it works again - but this has the potential to cause a lot of confusion and as others have pointed out lack of confidence in the contest which could become a problem

i have done the fix to the comments.php shown here but this doesn't fix this problem - there appears to be a fundamental problem in the way votes are tallied / retallied - appreciate if this could be fixed - it is an ongoing bug that i was hoping would have been fixed in this upgrade
