Candidate A receives 48 percent of the popular vote in a state during a presidential election, while Candidate B receives 41 percent and Candidate C receives 11 percent. For most states, how would the election results affect Candidate B?

A. She should split the state's electoral votes with Candidate C.
B. She would receive some of the state's electoral votes in proportion to her share of the popular vote.
C. She could demand another vote because no candidate received a majority in the state.
D. She would not receive any of the state's electoral votes.

In the following situation:

Candidate A receives 48 percent of the popular vote in a state during a presidential election, while Candidate B receives 41 percent and Candidate C receives 11 percent.

The effect that the result will have in candidate B will be:

D. She would not receive any of the state's electoral votes.

Explanation:

The reason behind this is that the popular vote doesn't define the president. Instead, it defines the winner of the electoral votes in the United States Electoral College. Which is a body of electors that decide which candidate is going to be the winner of the presidential election. The majority of the electors vote in the college of electors will define the president. Very often, the electors vote for their same party they form part of. So if the Republican candidate won more electors sits, it is more likely that they are going to vote for him. That is what happened in 2016 with Donald Trump.
