> Party A takes control of the governorship with 50.1% of the vote. Party B wins 65% of the seats in the legislature. The implication being that the will of 65% of the electorate's is stymied by a weaker 50.1% of the electorate? You can't actually conclude that since roughly 15 percent appear to have voted both ways, making their will in this conflict ambiguous. Perhaps they support the gov they voted for so there's actually only a minority of the public who agrees with the legislature and their law. I say "roughly" because gimmicks such as gerrymandering, but these would not affect the governor vote.
