The way plurality is used, especially in elections is that the winning candidate receives the most votes in an election in which no one wins a majority.

Bill Clinton won a plurality of votes in his two presidential campaigns, etc.

With a split country and multiple candidates on the ballot, it can be hard to win a majority of the vote, but a plurality will do for Trump. I'm so sick of libs telling me that Hillary got the most votes and she did, but it was because Hillary got huge margins in Cali and NY.

If Trump got the most votes on Nov. 3, it would go a long way to shut up the libs. But I don't think we will know on Nov. 3 if the mail is widely used. I think the dems want to screw up the election so bad, that even if Trump wins, they will say we really don't know. They are still counting primary ballots one month after an election in Penn and there still is no resolution - if that happens on Nov 3, all hell will break lose.

I’m not convinced Hillary DID get the most votes (well, real votes from actual individual voters with US citizenship, anyway)
