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.

If, as is claimed, there was massive successful intimidation, surely those
wimps who couldn't stand up for themselves would simply stay away from the
meeting?

Err no. staying away was not "allowed" either.
