I would suggest 72, split 41:1:30.  That rounds to the percentages indicated, 
but it could be any multiple of 72, for example (absurdly) 72 000 000.
 
71 works ok for the 1.4% but not for the other two (not particularly close to 
integers).

How many people have voted.  The fact that 1.4% voted for an alternative option 
suggests that 71 people have voted (or a multiple thereof since 71 * 1.4 give 
100%).

I 'voted' (not expecting to be able to - I am not a US citizen), and looked at 
the results. Only two main voting blocs - no, and yes. (The other two in 
between vote options were irrelevant in terms of numbers.)

62.5% voted no, almost 37% voted yes. I suppose that could be considered as 
relatively positive in a country like the US - i.e. the pro-metric part of the 
overall population is probably much stronger than is realised. Is this enough 
to persuade the powers that be to 'go for it'?
