Well, in effect it would be, sort of. But, that wasn't the point. I
was debating your claim that in real-world politics, "no" votes and abstentions are counted. They are not, because there *ARE* no "no"
votes. When I look at my election ballot, I can choose to vote for
*ONE* candidate, which is a "yes" vote. There is no choice to pencil
in for a "no" vote. It is NOT a majority vote to win an election. It
is simply a matter of getting more YES votes than your opponent(s).
Which is what I said there above...
In some cases, it takes a majority to win an election. That can
happen when according to the rules if no candidate has a
majority, then there is a run off between the top two.
