I cannot engage with any such point when it does not make sense or is disingenuous.
'More likely' is a chance factor and we are not dealing with chance factors or representations.
The same representations were made after Brexit when remainers claim the Brexit decision was not the will of the British people because they say only 37% or so of the population actually voted in the referendum, well that's a disingenuous assertion because not every person in the UK was eligible to vote and or chose not to vote, the same applies here, the US population of Blacks, Whites and Hispanics are not all criminals convicted and sentenced to death.
