Majority of the votes cast is not the same as the largest number. When more than 2 people are in the running, votes can be split so no one gets a majority...with Helen dropping out, unless it were a different sort of election, those votes could be cast for either candidate...so there has to be a new election, just for that office. Unless we know what the number of votes were that were cast for each candidate for VP, it is conceivable that Jerry could win a new election. If the Helen supporters continue to split the votes, this could go on for a while. This is always the case when there are more than 2 people running...probably why the matter came up at the July Board meeting.
