Sorry, you are right, I quoted the wrong number.

The point is the same though: due to the nature of the Hungarian voting system, the winner can easily get more mandates than what would follow from the raw results, and this is why it is beneficial to manipulate the voting areas.

Sure, but no one was discussing the US. Not everything has to be related to them.

That's more than what Trump got in 2016. Still nobody compared the U.S. to Belarus.
