If it was majority rule, candidates would concentrate only in New York, Florida, and California. If you win all three states, you win since those three states hold 51% of the population.

Illiterate - adj. Ignorant; Uneducated; esp., Not knowing how to read or write
I think at least in today's world your statement is a broad sweeping generalization and I do not agree that the mass majority is illiterate.
