The GAP doesn't matter!!

The important magical figure is 5,884,544

Hit that and you are our next president without a run-off. It won't matter what the other guys get or how many are rejected!

HOW DO I GET THAT?

FACT: there are 14,352,545 voters

ASSUMPTION: the average 82% turnout will be maintained through out.

Therefore: 82% of 14,352,545 is 11,769,086.9 - this will be the total votes cast, including rejected votes.

50% of 11,769,086.9 is 5,884,543.45.

Constitution says winner must get "more than half of all the votes cast in the election" (I don't know where people got "50% plus one" from!!!)

Since fractional votes are not possible, we ROUND UP the 5,884,543.45 to get 5,884,544

Watch the tally and keep that magic number in mind.


They both mean the same. 50% plus 1 vote is much more precise n clear.It is the minimum by which one can win.

@Gregory

Just like in football it's never over till the referee blows the whistle. Case in point Man city lifting the premier league title last year, we have seen winning goals scored at extra time.


a friend of mine gave a good analogy. CORD is firing like a machine gun while Jubilee is dropping bombs from their areasLaughing out loudly

But they are diminishing there stock of bombs before they've completely destroyed the target. towards the end they'll start using pistols.

Suppose there are 9 votes cast

50% = 4.5
50% + 1 = 5.5
Rounding this to the nearest whole number gives 6

But; "more than half" simply means more than 4.5, which is 5.

Now do you see the difference?
Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.
