You omitted an important stage between “voted out of office” and “left”

He wouldn't have been in office in the first place had there been a higher emphasis on the popular vote in his first election.

He also would be less likely to be in office the second time had the judicial system of New York State respected the outcome of another democracy - a jury in a criminal trial - and sentenced said man to actual punishment instead of not sentencing him at all.

> and won the popular vote to go back into office.

By the smallest margin since 1968 (one of the smallest in history) with the aid of a rough economy he helped create but got no blame for and a terribly mismanaged Democratic primary/election.
