How Many People Actually Voted for Bobby Kotick? This Many

So, Activision had its AGM this week. A number of things were settled: how much management would be paid, what kind of coffee would be in Neversoft's play-room vending machine*, various powers of attorney... and which board members would still have the keys to the gold 'rest-room'.

While Robert - Bobby - Kotick is occasionally seen by gamers as a less than popular gentleman, Activision/Blizzard's shareholders think differently. Mr Kotick was re-elected with the following voting shares:

Against: 124,273,625
Abstained: 929,832
FOR: 969,318,199

So, quite popular then. The rest of the board's results are:
