I guess the real question is do we need 51% of voters to choose Yes on the recall, or only more than the number of No votes? i.e. say 100 people voted, 45 yes, 40 no and 15 no vote recorded. Does it pass 53% to 47% out of 85 votes on that question, or does it fail because it only got 45% of 100 total ballots cast?

Hope that question was convoluted enough for you 8-)

That the gist of my question. How are non-votes to the Yes/No question handled. Is the contest just between Yes chads and No chads, or is the contest between Yes chads and every other ballot?
