Compare it to the news.groups rules, where you need 2/3 Yes, and also 100
more Yes than No.
This is similar: there's a certain minimal number you need to qualify at
all, and also a percentage you must achieve as well.
Say you have to meet a quorum of 10, and also 2/3. Then
Yes No Win
4 4 No
6 6 No
9 1 No
10 0 Yes
10 5 Yes
10 6 No
20 6 Yes
Clearer?
