It just doesn't make sense. You have the standard, if you want to change it you need to get 50% + 1 of the entire employee base to change it. That's fair.
Just like, in Congress, you need 50% + 1 of all members to pass a bill.

Just like, in elections, you need 50% + 1 of all registered voters to elect a mayor or governor... or to pass a referendum.

Oh wait... if 2 Senators vote yes on a bill, 1 votes no, and 97 abstain, the bill apparently passes the Senate.

And for referendums and public elections, they only count votes of those who cast them?

What a strange concept, that you only count votes that are cast!
