Only if you are really stupid or controversial. In a popular thread you can turn the votes around with subsequent posts or a clarifying edit.

I once asked a question, everyone thought I made a bad joke, down voted, I edited it to include that it was genuine curiosity, got down voted even harder and called stupid, my noddle still doesn't compute the situation.

Sometimes you start with the person you replied to down voting you because they think you disagreed with them, then others read your comment and up vote it
