Question 1 • MCPSS AL-Grade 6 United States Studies: The Industrial Revolution to the Present - Summer School 2026

The Electoral College result was also very close: Bush received 271 votes and Gore received 266, so C applies. Third-party candidate Ralph Nader did not nearly win, and a Democrat defeating a Republican is not by itself an unusual feature.
