This is to avoid a potential [-anchoring_effect]. Also, presumably the user would be still be able to look at the votes if they want to without casting a vote. It would just have to be manual.

Possibly have it hidden for logged-in users, but shown to logged out users? It'd be good for casual readers to not have added hassle, and they're very likely not going to log in and vote.

It's unclear to me, tbh.
Pro: Less anchoring, thus more accuracy
Con: Makes it slower/harder to interact with the site, and/or to get the information or consensus
Perhaps something like, you don't see it unless you either vote or click "show results"?
