Bro. Brown,
To clarify:
If the ballot comes back with only one negative vote, it is immediately reballoted. If it comes back again with only one negative vote, the petition is rejected.
If the initial ballot has two or more negative votes, the petition is rejected.
Also
2. No lodge shall receive the petition of one who has been rejected for the degrees within six months from the date of his rejection.

Bro. Arthur Peterson
