I just voted "Me" but I realised that in voting me, I am in fact voting for Atomic_Rooster, since he is the "voice" of the poll. I should have voted "You" if I wanted to vote for myself.

Ok, I'm going to be really radical here and suggest that no one is better!
We're all equals!

I can't prove your statement one way or another simply because I cannot prove you exist; I can prove neither than you exist physically (since this is over the intarwebs), nor that you exist in a mental or metaphysical state, since that is technically impossible.
So I have no particular reason to doubt your statement, but just as much reason to believe it.

Oh, by the way, the question doesn't make sense since the answers aren't technically related. If you want it to be right, it should say, "Am I better than You - YES or NO." "ME or YOU" is like answering "Do you want pie?" with "APPLE or CHERRY," it's second guessing the questioner. So in truth, you aren't being fair to yourself.

Yes, that play of words also exists in Spanish, that's why I didn't voted for the alternative "me"
Remember, your question only works if the other person marks the option "me", I didn't voted

well, if you voted for "you" then it was actually for yourself, which makes you selfish. but anyways, altruism is for the weak and those who feel inadequate in their own accomplishments. but whatever, choose your own pie to lay on

you seem to be interpreting how to vote in this poll according to the dimensions of your own mind, which seems to be a mistake

No, not in the least. When I joined this Poll you (ie "me") had 15 votes. I voted for you (i.e. "me") giving you 16 votes.

so you did vote for me... I guess I'm better then... there's no way to win this, I hope you realize that.
it's a (gasp, he's gonna say it!) LOGIC TRAP!

It's not a logic trap, but a language barrier.  More precise, a lack of adherence of the language to the logic of what's supposed to be said.
