Take the basic case of one point of each color. Pass the line through them. Counting them both as on both sides of the line, more than half are on each side
This is easily fixed. For example, count the points you include on the first side (2), and the points you include on the second side (2). Now adjust the total to 4, and at most half are on each side.

On the other hand, you could count each point on the line as half on one side and half on the other, and not adjust the total.
