No.
Let each server sign a timestamped counter of total votes from their own users, sending that to the hosting server for the post voted on. Then it can update the vote count as needed. The host then displays combined votes, and can display votes per server too, with signatures to prevent manipulation of counts.
If any server has suspicious vote counts it can get filtered out.
