In case it's useful, OSI's 2020 election results (with vote counts) were reported here: <https://opensource.org/node/1049> https://opensource.org/node/1049 FWIW, Ms. Ehmke's blog post states that she and Tobie Langel 'did collectively secure 35% of the votes from the membership', but quick calculation[1] using the numbers at <https://opensource.org/node/1049> https://opensource.org/node/1049 suggests this statistic is 11%. (Perhaps Ms. Ehmke was relying on preliminary vote counts from elsewhere. I wouldn't know, and just note the datum.) If you go just on the cumulative numbers, there were 1,061 votes cast, so (82+36)/1,061 = 11.1%, as you note. If you go to the ballot tracker (https://vote.heliosvoting.org/helios/elections/d93efdc8-5c7e-11ea-9fd6-dac1e2b1446f/voters/list), there were 338 individual voters who cast votes, so 338/1,061 = 31.8%. That’s more in the ballpark of the quoted 35%. If you use that calculation, and you combine Ehmke+Langel, percentages are: 1. Josh Simmons: 224 (66%) 2. Megan Byrd-Sanicki: 198 (58%) 3. Ashley Wolf: 137 (41%) 4. Coraline Ada Ehmke: 82+ Tobie Langel: 36 (32%) 5. McCoy Smith: 92 (27%) 6. Chris Short: 67 (20%) 7. Mario Behling: 60 (18%) 8. Mekki MacAulay: 56 (17%) 9. George Kraft: 39 (11%) 10. John Tredennick: 36 (11%) 11. Travin Keith: 13 (4%) 12. Michael Cruz: 7 (2%) 13. Rohit Goswami:7 (2%) 14. Bob McWhirter : 7 (2%) >From which, I would conclude, the winners got substantial majorities of the >voters, and no one else did, even if we combine candidates based on platforms. >So they really deserve a seat at the table; everyone else, probably not.
