To clarify, the official motion for the LL Board vote for Moon was indeed unanimously approved, but the preceding straw poll conducted in open session (which, as I understand it, is typically done in order to have a unanimous vote for their incoming peer) was 3-2 in favor of Moon including the outgoing Board member’s vote for her.
