The asterisk before 'server' turns on globbing (which makes it gobble
up as much of the URL as possible), and the parentheses around
':folder' tell the router that it's an optional part of the route. So
the router shoves as much as it can into the 'server' parameter, and
leaves out the 'folder' parameter.
Also, I don't really understand the '*mapservice' bit of your route,
but guessing that's just a typo.
I would just try:
get 'myresource/:server/:folder/:resource' => 'votes#cast',
:constraints => {:server => /[^\/]+/}
(where the constraint on 'server' is just to allow '.'s).
