[<1/1,000,000th%]

In the 2000 presidential election, only 51% of eligible voters exercised this precious francise that our forefathers fought and died upholding.

If there were approx. 250 million eligible voters and approx. 120 million votes cast, where do you get the 51% number?

I assume a media report?
