It's a bit ugly but I think this works,

<xsl:template match="vote">
   <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:attribute name="dem:count">
         <xsl:value-of select="@rep:count - 432" />
      </xsl:attribute>
	<xsl:variable name="dem" select="generate-id(@dem:count)"/>
      <xsl:copy-of select="@*[generate-id()!=$dem]" />
   </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

Of course its not so easy if you are dealing with more than one attribute...
