Steps to reproduce the issue
Install a multilanguage site with the automatic installation that offers Joomla. 2 languages are enough.
In Articles Options set the parameter Show Voting on Show.
In frontend click on an article and then look the url generated when you go over flags.
Expected result
The urls are normal
Actual result
If you click on the english article and then click on the english flag, you will see that the url change,
at the end &hitcount=0 is added
System information (as much as possible)
Joomla 3.5.1
Votes
It's probably like this for years. The argument is generated by the voting plugin and it was added here: 811e839#diff-af047d54862b5a4c88c3eda651c030f8R54
Apparently it changes the global query and if the language flag URLs are generated after the voting plugin changed the URI, it will show up there as well.
Not sure if something else changed somewhere so it only surfaced now, but there has indeed to be a better way
Make a clone of the global instance and you don't have to worry about it being messed with. The joys of having an application so tightly coupled to global state and singleton objects.

Same behaviour in 3.6.0 RC.
The link has hitcount added when hovering the flag of the Content Language displayed at the time.
