Comment:

 post meta is designed to store a few unique pieces of information about a
 post, particularly that which is used in querying or used often (thus why
 all meta keys are cached). Instead, votes should be in their own table,
 and then you could store, for example, the name of the table as the post
 meta for that post to link the votes table to the post. Suggesting close
 as invalid
