Answer 1

The electoral college consists of 538 electors, and only Nebraska and Maine do not follow the winner-take-all model for electoral votes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The electoral college consists of a total of 538 electors, equal to the number of Senators and House members. In most states, the winner takes all the electoral votes, but Nebraska and Maine use a district method, where the winner of each congressional district receives one electoral vote. The candidate who wins the popular vote in a state wins all the electoral votes of that state, except in Nebraska and Maine. Therefore, the statements in the question are as follows:

1. There are 528 possible electoral votes in a presidential election. B. False
2. In order to win a presidential election, the winner must receive a minimum of 275 electoral votes. B. False
3. Nebraska and Maine do not follow the winner take all model for electoral votes in a presidential election. A. True
4. Radicals and reactionists have in common that they are willing to use violence to get their political views across. B. False
