Majority and Plurality.

In politics the plurality Is the great est of more than two numbers and Is also the excess of the highest number of votes cast for any one candidate over the next highest number. When a candidate receives out of 10000 votes cast 1000 and two other candidates receive respectively $500 and 2.5OO, the first is elected by plurality, though he has received less than a majority of the whole vote. and he Is said to have a plurality of Jo0 votes- If the numbers are 5000. 3,o0O and 1000. the majority Is 1000 and the plurality Is 3.oOO. A majority. there fore, must be more than half the en- tire vote cast. and a candidates ma- iority is. then. the difference between the number of votes be received and the combined number of votes cast for all other candidates: his plurality is the difference between his own num- Der and the number received by the candidate nearest to him. OftentimeS candidate receives plurality. but not a majority. Unless there is tie there Is always a plurality. = Path finder
