Yeah, yeah we all understand first year guys can't vote because they are on probation --- the point was the margin by which the LOA "passed" was only 19% and (IMHO) it would have been even lower if the very most junior folks in the company could have voted.

A'o Aloha!
Yeah, it would have been [(2500*.32)+250]/(2500+250)= 1250/2750= .38.

Wow, a whopping 38% "no" vote, assuming ever 1st year guy voted and voted "No." Big difference, 62% yes, 38% no.

Still don't understand your 19% margin, unless, as mentioned, you choose to regard every non-vote as one for the "No" side. And as mention above, that's a crock.
