not a majority. as I wrote in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42963075 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42963075 [edit fixed table formatting and labels] Assuming I did my sums right, DT won by approximately 1.5%. Hardly a ringing endorsement. He got 31.59% of the voter-eligible (VE) population. I count active yes votes as for a candidate and non-voter passive no votes. Some non-voters support a candidate, but since they didn't vote, their non-votes count against each candidate.
