...in either federal or state a majority means the same thing. None of the recent presidents have had a majority of the votes, that is why we have the electoral college.

...also the election of a congressman or senator for the US House or Senate is a state election and is not a federal election. State election laws apply. Ages to vote etc. If it were a federal election people could just drive over and vote.

...and as long as we are on the subject, the election of the president is an election by the states, not a federal election.

"... last I heard neither candidate has a majority. (Both less than 50% with write ins making up the balance. The governor could step in and appoint someone to fill the balance of the Sessions term."

While states may use majority versus plurality rules in state elections, I suspect that it would be unconstitutional if an attempt was made to try it with a Federal election.
