The title of this video is "Interview Douglas Murray (EN): European citizens too often vote wrongly."
At first glance, the word "wrongly" appears odd. After looking around, I couldn't find any reasons why this use would be incorrect. It's an adverb that is used in other examples, such as, "A person wrongly convicted of a crime," or "I wrongly assumed something." Even if you take "wrongly" and place it in front of the verb "voted" it still seems off. If the word "incorrectly" is substituted, the phrase seems OK: European citizens too often vote incorrectly.
Grammatically-speaking, "wrongly" can be used in this way. My question; is there another reason why this usage isn't supported? Or if it has been used before, why isn't it used more often?
