Question 17 • High School Math 2 A

How was the Electoral College designed to represent the American people in the democratic process?

Answer
A
Electoral College electors can vote for the candidate of their choice.
B
Congress votes for electors, who then vote for president and vice president.
C
Most states require all electors to vote for the winner of the state’s popular vote.
D
Electors take the popular vote into consideration when they decide whom to vote for.

Explanation

In most states, the candidate who wins the state’s popular vote receives all of that state’s electoral votes. This winner-take-all system connects voters’ choices to the electors’ votes for president. Electors are generally expected or required to support their state’s popular-vote winner, making C the best answer.
