And that the super majority was achieved by 1 vote. So in some sense it was a cliff hanger.
But 3 to 1 is a large margin, which likely has a bit of fat. I'm not uncomfortable with it.

it's the simplified case of score voting, which is even even more accurate with a scale like 0-5. albeit at the cost of simplicity.
It's about the 3:1 supermajority requirement that was needed for Option 1 and Option 2.
It turns out that their rules for dealing with this work by comparing those options against NOTA only; the problem is that it's plausible that many of the voters didn't realise this.
