No, sorry, I made no such assumption.

I'm sorry, but to reiterate, Ms. Ehmke's blog post claim (emphasis
added) was that she and you 'did collectively secure 35% of the _votes_
from the membership'.  According to OSI, there were 1,061 _votes_ cast.
This other divisor being waved about (338) is said to be the number of
_voters_.

If I've somehow flubbed long division, please show me where.  I won't
even blame /usr/bin/bc, and instead just surrender my math degree
directly to you.  ;->

What would actually be appreciated is, when someone has time, if that
person would kindly elaborate on which voting algorithm OSI uses for its
Board elections.  (Not urgent; I'm mostly just curious.)
