As said, my .htaccess file for a website I'm tweaking wont work correctly.
I know the .htaccess file is being read because if I put random letters inside of the .htaccess file at the top, going to the page on a browser returns a 500 error
mod_rewrite is enabled. I have a if statement in the .htaccess file to only run the code if the module is enabled/installed. (I have made sure it is by doing the first item listed but inside of the if statement; 500 error)
OS: Linux version 3.8.0-25-generic (buildd@roseapple) (gcc version 4.7.3 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.7.3-1ubuntu1)) Ubuntu 13.04

Looking at your .htaccess file
I think, and I could be wrong, but doesn't the $ mean one character and * means multiple characters; i'm thinking it's looking for vote(plus one more character) whereas ^vote(.*) says look for file starting with vote and ending with (.plus anything)

Anywho maybe this will have better luck for you
When I changed the vote line to what you put, it still did a 404.
