As you say, getting less than 50% -while legitimate in our system-, still sort of isn't legitimate (in a non-legal sense).

Don't you love the maps the people on the right like to show? It's apparently a county map, of the US showing how each place voted. It shows the vast majority of the surface area of the US red, but only a few bits, like the California coast and the north east, in blue. The righists complain it shows how unfair the US election system is, because only a few cities outweigh the votes of the majority of the area of the country. Do they seriously contend dirt should vote, instead of people?

Ah, here's an example. I have seen purported maps with even less blue on them. The righties cry "unfair, unfair! most of the country votes red!!" without acknowledging the population density difference between many red areas vs blue.
