Chris Harrison Posted September 25, 2014 at 11:41 PM Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 at 11:41 PM Generally speaking the results of a vote are calculated from those who actually voted (an abstention is not a vote). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edgar Guest Posted September 26, 2014 at 11:31 AM Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 at 11:31 AM . . . there is four members voting: 2 yes, 1 no, and 1 abstention . . . Only three members voted. As Mr. Harrison noted, an abstention is not a vote (to abstain is to refrain from voting). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Brown Posted September 26, 2014 at 12:31 PM Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 at 12:31 PM Only three members voted. As Mr. Harrison noted, an abstention is not a vote (to abstain is to refrain from voting). So, the motion not only carried, it carried by a two-thirds vote.
