1 A presidential candidate could win the election with which
of the following numbers of electoral votes?
A 150
B.
250
С
300
D
550

The correct answer is C. 300

Explanation:

A presidential candidate can only win an election if the candidate gets at least 270 electoral votes or votes from the electoral college (people that represent the opinion of all the states during elections). This makes answers such as 150 or 250 incorrect because the minimum to select a President is 270. Moreover, the maximum votes if all the Electoral College members vote for the same candidate is 538, which is the total number of people in the Electoral college. This makes 550 an incorrect answer because this number of votes is impossible. According to this, the answer is 300.
