But now, opponents of Question 7 are saying the vote is invalid.
“We believe the word of the law will be clear,” says Bonnie Bick, who is one of seven other Oxon Hill residents suing to have the passage of Question 7 declared null and void.
In court Tuesday, they told a judge that a change in the state gambling law requires approval of a majority of registered voters, not just a majority of those who show up to vote. Bick's lawyer says it's in writing.

Can't worry about what the law says, only how you want it to be read.
Sounds like opponents may have a case here. The law is the law and it seems very plain.
A majority is a number greater then 1/2
But is that 1/2 of the apples or 1/2 of the oranges... or is 1/2 of the apples plus the oranges??
