Why not avoid the casting vote problem by stipulating that the number
of members should always be an odd number. In case it is a problem of
keeping this number always odd, at least when voting is required, the
number of voters should be odd (either by excluding or including one
voter). (Yes, I know about the Condorcet Voting System with Schwartz
Sequential Dropping.)
