Technically speaking, that's incorrect. He didn't win 51% of the voters in this country. He won 51% of the participating voters.
But that's neither here nor there.

Just for the sake of arguement... The voters ARE the ones that actually voted. Thanks a lot to the driver's voters registration bill, many years ago, there's a helluva' lot of people that are registered voters, but who have not only never voted, but do not have any intentions of doing so. Those aren't voters; those are potential voters. And every citizen over the age of 18 in this country is a potential voter. Doesn't make them a voter, though.
