Todman, [ 323 F.Supp. 167 (D.Vi.1971) ], Judge Almeric Christian stated that “the proper basis for computing a majority” was that “voters not attending the election or not voting on the matter submitted are presumed to assent to the expressed will of those attending and voting and are not to be taken into consideration in determining the result.” We agree with this statement of the law.”
