single-member districts, plurality voting, and political history and socialization
The United States has a first-past-the-post voting system, also known as a plurality system. In this system, voters select one candidate and the candidate with the most votes wins, regardless of whether they have a majority or not. This system is used in most elections, including those for the President and members of Congress.
18 is the legal voting age in the US.
The Electoral college is the Presidential voting system. The electoral college gives each state a certain amount of electoral votes. If a presidential candidate wins the majority of the citizens votes, he will also get the electoral vote.
When voting rights were extended to citizens who previously did not have voting rights, there was more pluralism in the US. When the 19th Amendment was passed in 1920, the votes granted to women expanded the numbers of people voting in the US.
