You are mixing the two voting areas up.

Witness votes do not affect your VP. That is for content voting. When you vote for a witness, that is a governance vote. It matters none what tokens you are holding other than HP. That vote does not take away from your VP.

When upvoting content, it will vote whatever you have in that account. So if you vote someone with LEO, whatever Hive Power is in your account will be added.
