Answer:
The correct answer is "Although more people attended the rally, each person could cast only one vote during the general election; passion, it turns out, doesn't make a person plural."
Explanation: A semicolon must always separate two independent clauses. A good way to check is to see if the phrases on both sides of the semicolon could be their own independent sentences.
