AP Government and Politics Question of the Day

A district in which the elected representative carried less than fifty-five percent of the majority vote

A district that has little impact or ability to affect the national discussion, and so it is forced to consider only local issues

A district where the incumbent always carries the majority of the vote

A district where the same political party always wins, so the other party does not even bother to run a candidate

A district that is carried by an overwhelming majority of the voters, at least seventy-five percent, and thus grants a substantial mandate to the elected representative
