From http://sourcemage.org/SourceMage/Voting_Policy:
• Votes require a simple majority (greater than 50% of all votes cast)
to pass.

If what is in parentheses is interpreted literally, then a vote in which
there are 3 candidates and 20 votes total would require that one
candidate receive 11 of the votes, leaving 9 to be divided among the
other 2, in order to be elected. In my opinion, that's a (potentially)
landslide victory rather than a simple majority. I believe what's in
parentheses is meant as an example, in which case we should clarify the
language to indicate that it needs to be greater than 50% for 2
candidates. If it is not just an example and all candidates need greater
than 50% of all votes cast to be elected, then lots of luck to the 3
candidates running for Grimiore Lead...
