So if 64.8% is legit, then the badge choice is highly likely the one legitimately voted in.
Ah yes, there is no doubt it was the most popular of the 3. But I think it is slightly telling Neil references the percentage that voted for a change, rather than this change. Which makes me think it is much closer to vote to remain or this specific badge had less than 50% of the vote, neither would be particularly compelling numbers to push as a reason to change.
I do also wonder if that includes those who chose to stick with the current badge but left in comments saying they'd be open to change with different options - which was mentioned in the SB minutes a few months back.
To add, I don't think the vote was rigged. But there was never any openness about if a specific badge needed a majority or just a vote to change. I believe this badge was decided on before the vote with an unclear voting process which meant the results could be manipulated to guarantee the outcome of a cheap sticker badge to look the same as most other clubs under the guise of consultation
