I think you misunderstand. The buckets are NOT the votes, they are the relevance scores from the search. So your search returns relevance scores (raw) from, say 1 - 100. You could collect the results in 5 buckets and sort by vote *within* the bucket. So the user still sees the most relevant documents at the top, but within that most relevant quintile she sees the order munged a bit by vote. The thread I mentioned talks about how to accomplish this with a FieldSortedHitQueue (?) and a HitCollector.
Since you're massaging the sort however you want, negative votes should be do-able.
