The U.S. Presidential election is a _________ system.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The U.S. Presidential election is a nonproportional system, meaning that the candidate who wins the highest number of votes in a given state receives all of that state's electoral votes, regardless of the percentage of votes they received. This often leads to a "winner-takes-all" outcome, where the candidate who wins the most electoral votes becomes the president, even if they did not win the popular vote. It is not an authoritarian or socialist system, and there is no element of proportionality in the allocation of electoral votes, ruling out C as well.
