Question

In a State that does not use plurality candidate B would win the primary in which of these situations?

A. Candidate A, receives 15%

Answer 1

answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

The right answer is A, where candidate A receives 15%, candidate B 55% and candidate C receives 30%.

Candidate B won in this situation, because the other two candidates combined received the total of 45% of the votes, while candidate B received 55% of the votes.

In this case, candidate B, in order to win, must receive more votes than the other two candidates combined.
