Abstract
A majority digraph is a finite simple digraph such that there exist finite sets for the vertices with the following property: if and only if "more than half of the are ". That is, if and only if . We characterize the majority digraphs as the digraphs with the property that every directed cycle has a reversal. If we change to any real number , we obtain the same class of digraphs. We apply the characterization result to obtain a result on the logic of assertions "most are " and the standard connectives of propositional logic.
