Take a look at http://100fstreet.com/index.php/2012/02/anatomy-of-a-shareholder-vote-calculation-a-2012-update/ and particularly:
Under the SRO rules that are in place now, brokers have discretionary voting authority over routine matters, a common example being the ratification of auditors. However, the rules don’t define what a routine matter is, rather they include an ever-growing but non-exhaustive list of non-routine matters.
So maybe the number in red above is correct but the count of "Broker Non-Votes" is off.
