attempt to compare table and number ??? script error

I am making a GUI map voting system and when I go to test the script I get this output:

01:58:16.154 - ServerScriptService.Server:111: attempt to compare table and number

I don't understand what it means by this but the error is happening on line 111:

        end
    end
end

there is also a local script that goes with this that may be adding to the problem:

--Player--
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:wait()
local gui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local ui= gui:WaitForChild("ui")

--Assets--
local rep = game.ReplicatedStorage
local assets = rep.Assets

--Maps--
local maps = assets.Maps

--Signals--
local signals = assets.Signals
local event = signals.Event
local fevent = signals.FEvent

--Game Variables--
local Game = game.StarterGui.Game
local stats = Game.Stats

--Static Variables--
local vars = {
    currentVote=nil;
    services={};
}

--Primary Events--
event.OnClientEvent:connect(function(variables)
    if variables.reason == "startVoting" then
        table.insert(vars.services, game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:connect(function()
            local ray = Ray.new(char.PrimaryPart.CFrame.p, Vector3.new(0.-1000.0))
            local object = workspace:findPartOnRay(ray, char, false, false)
            if object and object.Name:match("VotingButton") then
                local votingGUINum = tonumber(object.Name:match("%d+"))
                if vars.currentVote==nil then
                    vars.currentVote = votingGUINum
                    event:FireServer({reason="voteOnMap"; itemNum=votingGUINum;})
                elseif vars.currentVote~=votingGUINum then
                    vars.currentVote = votingGUINum
                    event:FireServer({reason="voteOnMap"; itemNum=votingGUINum;})
                end
            elseif vars.currentVote~=nil then
                vars.currentVote=nil
                event:FireServer({reason="removeFromVote"})
            end
        end))
    elseif variables.reason == "endVoting" then
        for a,b in pairs(vars.services) do
            b:disconnect()
        end
        vars.services= {}
    end
end)

--Initiate Title Updater
game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:connect(function()
    ui:WaitForChild("Title").Text = game.StarterGui.Game.Stats.Status.Value
end)

if you can solve this then thank you!
