Some political scientists argue that, for most Americans, their vote for president doesn’t really matter. What is the strongest reason for this belief?
Explanation
Answer: A - In 48 out of 50 states, the presidential candidate who receives the most popular votes gets all of the electoral votes for that state. The two exceptions are Nebraska and Maine. Most states will strongly support either the Democratic or Republican candidate, so it won’t be close. In that case, your vote arguably doesn’t matter. If, however, you live in a state where there are a similar number of Democrats and Republicans, your vote could matter a lot.
