The statement that best describes the impact of the election of 1912 is:
• The Democrats won the presidency due to the split in the Republican Party.
This accurately captures the main effect of the election, where the division between Taft and Roosevelt allowed Woodrow Wilson, the Democratic candidate, to win the presidency.
