Description
Merging two or more Ideas should also merge the votes, not just go with the higher number.

Merge unlike add-up.

Not the votes are merged but the number of users who voted for either one of the ideas.

Example:
User A voted for ideas 1, 2, 3
User B voted for ideas 1, 2
User C voted for idea 1

That would be:
3 votes for idea 1
2 votes for idea 2 and
1 vote for idea 3

Makes 3 votes for the merged idea (not 6).

Nope, then I could vote for both before the merger and that would make two votes of mine for a single idea.

NO that is exactly how I am saying the votes should not be merged! Read then comment.

An example with a different number of ideas and people would have been a bit clearer ;-)

What if I voted FOR 1 & 2 and AGAINST 3? Not that it would make sense, but it might happen (see ideas on revoking votes).

YES, would not make any sense! If they are in fact duplicates, why would you vote for the one but against the other?
