Open Stack

Yes, its the tie situation that I'm preferring to.  To me either the vote 
reaches the threshold or it doesn't.  50% isn't the threshold so it fails.

There's also the interesting case where multiple people from the same 
company get to vote in the same ballot - I think its because the same 
company can have  both platinum (or gold - can't remember which right now) 
as well as individual members, and that's another sore point for me but 
I'll leave that for another day.  :-)  But its those kinds of rules that 
make things seem a lot more complicated than they need to be.  Once 
company, one vote is much easier. 

thanks

Would you point to a specific section(s) where this comes into play?

My understanding is the two vote only comes up in a scenario that
requires a tie break, often in a scenario when the chair won't have
voted in creating the tie, and the fact that it is two votes is just
how Delaware works.
