I never did understand this parsing of "voter" - either you vote or you don't.
It is correct to say he won 51% of the voters and leave it at that. Period.
Now, this isn't directed at Mobycat but others in the thread:
If you didn't vote, then
If you voted and it didn't go your way, get more people to vote your way next time and quit whining :rolleyes:
