...Said less than 51% of voters
2 comments

We can call winners this early. We can’t yet call margins.
Good point; still mathematically less than 60% if you trust AP's estimated remaining vote count.
Does it only count if he gets 60% of the vote?
The "said all of NYC" wasn't the best framing, but the entire post was about Democrats' choices, not everyone's.

Also not sure what value your comment has. Interpret things charitably. Your "gotcha" is not at all that.

Perhaps I misread the tone of the comment I replied to, but I have seen lots of "Everybody supports X" when X won with barely half of the votes, and less than half the voting-aged population voted.
