Edited to use correct terminology.
- grzm 10y agoI understand your point, but plurality ≠ majority. Plurality is more votes than any other candidate. Majority means more than 50% of the vote. This doesn't detract from the point you're trying to make, but it is inaccurate. You strengthen your argument by using the appropriate word.
