At what point does a minority become a majority? Is that defined?
help



I invite you to look up those two words in literally any handy dictionary. Their definitions are quite uncomplicated.

We have a "minority" which votes en masse and can sway the results of an election.

Is that still a minority? I invite you to introspect more. It's not complicated either.


You are using the general term "minority" without context. That is intentionally deceitful.

A voting minority cannot by itself gain power in a democratic election.

A population minority may vote with, against, or mixed versus the eventual majority. It is not the same as active participation in voting.


Counting.

10% is all you need as a vote bank to flip an election.
