Correction: 31% of the eligible voting population and ~50% of the popular vote. A lot of people did not vote.

Thank you, that is an important point. Voting numbers can only estimate the totals.

I should have use the term *Electorate*.

  The collective people of a country, state, or electoral district who are entitled to vote.
And they too are getting exactly what they asked for by not voting.
