I think it sucks that it's out too... but I'm trying to understand the math:
Softball:
Box given: 95
Participants: 92
Abstentions: 2
Valid Ballots: 90
Majority: 46
NO: 47
YES: 43
The poster is trying to say that if one of the abstentions was instead a YES vote, all would be right with the world. Based on this data, even if BOTH abstentions were YES's, the vote still fails, 47-45.
