Question 2 • US History

What was one factor that influenced the 2016 election?

Answer
A
The media wrote articles about Hillary Clinton’s failure to release her tax returns.
B
Voters were concerned about the servers that Donald Trump used to send emails.
C
China hacked into the email accounts of US political parties and released what was found.
D
The Russian government worked to undermine democratic procedures in the US.

Explanation

A factor that influenced the 2016 election was Russia’s effort to interfere with the US election and undermine democratic procedures. The other choices misstate events: the email controversy involved Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server, not Trump’s, and the major hacking and release of political emails was attributed to Russia, not China. The correct choice is “The Russian government worked to undermine democratic procedures in the US.”
