(I edited the URL in the OP to remove the part that takes you to a specific comment.)

Will investigate.

EDIT: made a github issue: https://github.com/inaturalist/inaturalist/issues/4665

Engineer took a look and deleted the extra vote. We still need to add some code that prevents this from happening, it’s likely a race condition.

Should be prevented from happening in the future.
