The Club may elect such an applicant by a favorable vote of 75% of the members present. Applicants for membership who have been rejected may not reapply within one year after such rejection. Was this followed since eight members of the board voted against his membership and that definitely is 75%? No, because the board vote was positive. (All you need there is a majority; it's when there would be a majority against that the vote could go to the whole membership, at the request of an <1> endorser, at the annual meeting <at the National> and that's where you'd need 75% of members present at that particular meeting, NOT 75% of the membership as a whole.)
