- Your class gets to elect a representative for the school council. The two choices are Lizzy and Michael. Polling of the class shows that Polly is preferred by 53% to 47% over Michael. However, before the vote is held, a new choice for representative is put forth by a student: Rodney. Many of the students that prefer Polly, would rather have Rodney. The results of the vote are below. Michael 45% Polly Rodney 35% 17% What statement below is correct about adding a third choice to the plurality vote? Rodney did not win the vote, but it had no effect on drawing enough support away from Polly to make Michael the winner, even though a majority of students preferred Polly over Michael when there were two choices. Rodney did not win the vote, but it draws enough support away from Polly to make Michael the winner, even though a majority of students preferred Polly over Michael when there were two choices.
