I don't see how submitting a proxy that cannot be counted (i.e. the activist proxies) would have any bearing other that to establish a quorum (but that still seems very odd / illogical to me -- you can establish a quorum, but the proxy card you are using is completely invalid).

I had wondered about that too. But, there were other proposals on the ballot, the ratification of the accountant, the approval of the salary structure and maybe the 200M share increase proposal. I am not sure that the last one made it to the 13D proxies or not.
But, the non-director votes should count in the totals, but I am not certain.
