Now let's go back to my proposal from post #32.
If we decide to require 2/3 of the census to participate, and still demand a 67% majority from there, here are the numbers based on a census of 48.
Number of total votes required for passage: 32
The smallest number of YES votes required to meet this minimum is 22 votes. A 22-10 decision would be just over 67%, while a 21-11 result would fail by the smallest of margins.
The only problem I see with this system is voter turnout. If only 31 people vote, the amendment cannot pass, even if all 31 people voted YES.
This is why I want a system with no minimum turnout requirement. If only 30 people voted, 20 YES votes should get the amendment passed, regardless of how many people there are in census.
