DEN WHAT THE ANWSER
good grief - A
Answer - A.
~Definitely Not B considering they are 2 completely different votes. Therefore, It is possible for a president elect to have more in one and less in another.
~ C isn't correct because there are 538 electors and a president needs a majority of 270 electoral votes is required to win. Therefore, the electoral votes aren't used for ties. That's normally what we look out for in an election because ties don't normally arise.
~ D isn't correct because neither vote has anything to do with the influence of either party in the vote. If either of them did, it probably wouldn't be so important considering which ever is more influential most likely won't change the minds of the opposite party.
Therefore, You answer is A.
