I'm not sure where you got that idea:<br>
<a href="http://bugs.winehq.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&votes=100&order=votes%2Cbug_id" target="_blank">http://bugs.winehq.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&votes=100&order=votes%2Cbug_id</a><br>

Looked at the list and one of the bugs has over 150 votes and it was CLOSED DUPLICATE and the votes were not moved to the original bug. This is another shortcoming of using bug voting that exists or existed in Bugzilla.<br>
