Not at all - the people benefitting off that system + the ones swayed just has to be more than 50%. And given the move in some places to throw people off voting roles, I think they're worried about that 50+%

And a large amount are not mindless automatons -they're being presented distorted realities, and mostly have very little access to what is actually going on and what could be done.
