Apart from committee meetings, I've never ever seen a unanimous vote

We are talking about the mass meetings of the 60s and early seventies
and voting was by show of hands.

Just watch the newsreels of the day. You don't see many hands down, and
none against.

But how many of those eligible to vote were at that meeting?

Never actually counted them but in those days the meetings were
generally held in the open air just off site during lunch breaks so I
guess the turn out would be pretty high.
