To democratically challenge

"It is perfectly legitimate to seek to democratically challenge a referendum result." (The Guardian.)

Is "to democratically challenge" a split infinitive in the sentence above?

  

Top answer

Yes. I do not personally have a problem with split infinitives. As far as I'm concerned, that is one textbook rule that we can happily dispense with.
