We added the feature to undo a vote and made it obvious for people using screen readers using the `aria-pressed` attribute. However, for sighted people, the only way to know a button can be unpressed is to try to press it again and see what happens. The most obvious way to indicate it would be to add a text indicating that you can undo your vote. However, that'd require changing the design quite a bit. So, after trying a few techniques, we're using a classic approach browsers have used by default for years: using an inset border for pressed buttons and an outset border for unpressed ones. It might now be enough, though; we haven't done usability tests to confirm this point. Since icons to like/unlike comments don't have a border, I'm not sure what to do in this case; the icons are small and that makes it hard to style them in a distinct way. So for now we're not changing these icons.
