seeding vote count for questions

In the process of rewriting the importer for Zendesk, I'm wondering if there's a generic way to seed the vote count for a particular question. I found the increase_view_count() method for increasing the view count but couldn't find a similar method for increasing the vote count as it seems they have to be specifically linked to the users who submitted the vote.

The Zendesk XML export used to import data doesn't have any specific information regarding who voted for a forum topic, it only has the overall vote count.

Is there a way to do this easily?
