The point is as it was explained to me, you need 2/3 of the votes to actually recall an officer, but if a vote is taken and the result is 50 percent plus 1 (10 votes in this case) there can them be a motion for "roll call" and then if you have 50 percent plus one votes "whoever" is recalled. (Nice run on sentence eh?)
So looking at the names on the letters, I don't see 2/3 on either one, but with a extra vote or two, either one can have the 10 needed to call for a roll call and "win."
Talking with reps who are on both sides of this issue, roll call apparently was used quite a bit on on the NWA side and almost never on the south side with the Chairman, reps and officers arguing against it.
So, I would not expect it to be pushed or called for by those who were adamantly against it in the past. That would only add to the cynicism that is already present.
Ideally, cooler heads prevail and the MEC starts acting like mature adults instead of a chapter of Mutiny on the Bounty, but the way this was handled by those that started the process have done serious damage to our unity.
