And if you think more it shouldn't work in 2 nodes cluster. Let's say you
set up one node with 1 vote another node with 2 votes and expected votes set
to 2 as well. Now pretend that your node with 2 votes dies. You loose your
cluster in this way. Using nodes with number of votes higher than 1 makes
sense for clusters with even numbers of nodes that can be split equally.
Then partition that includes the node with higher number of votes wins.
