You're saying that 7 people could vote with the rest of the nations staying home, and then when Bob wins with 3/7 votes, I can say: "Look, the people spoke very clearly that they wanted Bob!"
No, that'd be frickin' insane, since:

2. Even when non-voters somehow aren't "the people", there's nothing remotely "clear" Bob winning with a minority.
The moral fiber of nonvoters is irrelevant, this is about how you exaggerated a weak signal to the point of outright falsehood.
