Majority vote wins. Registered voter turn-out was approximately 70 - 75% of the voting population, if I remember correctly. This % turn-out represents the ACTUAL voting population with a say in the election (those who give a damn). Since Clinton won somewhere in the high 40's % of those votes, he therefore won the election on the votes of the majority. Dole received the table scrap minority votes, with a few crumbs falling to the 3rd part candidates. Actually a runoff system that required an actual majority to win would be a good thing. We don't require a majority to win only a plurality, which is with what Clinton won. majority - def 3a: a number greater than half of the total. plurality - def 3c: a number of votes cast for a candidate in a contest of more than two candidates that is greater than the number cast for any other candidate but not more than half the total votes cast.
