MO-participants should appreciate the difference between information about +1 vote and +4 vs -3 votes. This is especially the case of closed questions.
I hope that MO will implement the more complete way.

How do I view vote counts?
Voting scores, as displayed, are the sum of the up and down votes on a post. Vote counts are the individual up and down votes that make up the score.

Whether that privilege should be available for users with less reputation as well is an eternal debate on Meta Stack Exchange.
