You have to use Evaluate[]:

Plot[Evaluate[voteCurves[{p1,p2}]],{\[Theta], -90, 180},
      AxesOrigin -> {0,0},
      PlotRange -> {{-90, 180}, {0, 255 Sqrt[2]}},
      AspectRatio -> 1,
      Frame -> True];

Evaluate tells the Plot command to make the
table of functions first (see Mathematica Book 1.9.1).
