You can do this without javascript, you just create a form that sends an XHR PUT/POST request and returns back a 200 response.

You can't do much with the response without JS but a single upvote doesn't change anything on the page so there's no need for the reload.

Not much, but it does hide the arrows and shows an undo link on the comment.
