It was a landslide win - 63.9% : 36.1% at last count. Over 9 million votes, about 69% of votes have been counted so far. Elder got just 46.9% of the YES vote, which means he got less than 16.9% of the overall vote (if we assume that very few people voted NO on Q1 and voted for Elder on Q2). However, news articles mention him getting 20% to 25% of the overall vote. What do you call that? A crushing humiliating defeat for Trumpism.
