actually its not 49 to 51.
its more like 24 to 25.
49% do not vote.
70% register and of those who register under 70% vote.
.7 x .7 = .49
and yes we as a society agree that whomever wins wins and the losers do not pretend they really won.

Akchtuuuualley! You are bringing up pointless semantics. You understand my premise (a thin majority of the voters)

I wasn't even arguing this. I gave you the premise that the elections were "free and fair". Even if that's the case, why does that slim majority (the 51%) get to suck the 49% dry and attempt to silence and disarm them? Under what pretense should the slim minority (49%) simply submit to a tyrannical (51%) just because Joe Scarborough cried about "Democracy" on the morning melt.
