The current voting process doesn't account for multi-question votes like this, so there's no consensus on how they should be counted (i.e. do you add all the "yes" votes and divide by the total or take the question with the most "yes" votes and divide that one by the total?). I think this would be a good time for us to reconsider my earlier suggestion of drafting an RFC to amend and clarify the voting process to allow for such scenarios. Right now, there's obviously no consensus on how to count the votes, so I think the only proper course of action would be to nullify this vote entirely and start over with just a simple "yes" or "no" question and nothing else. Since there does seem to be wide agreement that it should only be empty(), I'd say just limit the scope to that. --Kris
