minus-square@lud@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglish-1•2 months agoIt was a simple majority or relative majority. Either way trump got 49,9% while Harris got 48,3% so he absolutely got a major majority if you ignore the ones that would never win anyway. And 49,9% is obviously so close to 50% anyways so not rounding is pretty much only pedantic.
