Question

Al Gore wanted a vote recount in four Florida counties—Volusia, Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade. What did these counties have in common?

Map of the state of Florida showing the election results for each county. In the counties shaded red, Bush received most of the votes. In the counties shaded blue, Gore received most of the votes. In the northwest area of the state, the counties are primarily shaded red, with a few shaded blue near the state capital. In the northeast region of the state, most counties are shaded red. In central Florida, there is a mix of red and blue shaded counties. In the southwest region of the state most counties are shaded red. In the southeast region of the state, most counties are shaded blue.

The counties had less than 20 percent of votes for the Democratic Party.
The counties had less than 20 percent of votes for the Republican Party.
The counties had high populations and more voters that chose Gore.
The counties had low populations and more voters that chose Bush.

Answer 1

I just took the test. The correct answer is: The counties had high populations and more voters that chose Gore. Each county had a high population that were mostly Democratic, so Gore had a better chance for winning with the recount. Neither George nor Al won over 50% of the popular vote, so they needed Florida’s vote. Two of those counties did not complete their recounts in time, so in the end, George was the winner. Al Gore did not find this fair to stop the large county votes. So that is why this is the answer.

Hope that this is helpful! :)

Answer 2

The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by the question is the second choice. The counties had less than 20 percent of votes for the Republican Party are what both counties have in common. I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!
