TMRP= Theoretical Minority Rule Percent
Thus, if there were only 2 candidates per district and if the winner won a
bare majority and if all voters for President voted for one of the 2
candidates (3 big ifs), then 44.92/2 or 22.46 percent of the voters could
have elected 218 of 435 U.S. Representatives.
