Electoral college
The Republican party still utilizes the winner-take-all system in the primaries. After March 15, most Republican primaries are winner-take-all.
The 2014 Ligapokal competition did not take place.
The presidential candidate with the most votes wins all the electoral votes of the state (in 48 states). The result is that winning a few large population states (swing states), even by a tiny margin, can guarantee election to the presidency.*Maine and Nebraska give one vote to the winner of each of their congressional districts, and the remaining 2 to the overall winner of the state, making them the only non-winner take all states.

The "winner-take-all" system typically refers to the electoral process used in many U.S. states for the allocation of electoral votes in presidential elections. In this system, the candidate who receives the most votes in a state wins all of that state's electoral votes, rather than distributing them proportionally. This approach can lead to situations where a candidate wins the presidency without securing a majority of the popular vote nationwide. The system is criticized for potentially marginalizing third-party candidates and reinforcing a two-party system.
Advantages of the winner-take-all system include simplicity and clear outcomes, while disadvantages include potential for minority rule and lack of representation for all voters.
Proportional representation differ from the winner takes all system because in proportional representation, each faction gets some slots depending on some parameters whereas in the winner takes all system, the loser has nothing as the winner enjoys all.
Winner take all system
One drawback of the winner-take-all system in the electoral college is that it can lead to a situation where a candidate wins the popular vote but still loses the election. This can create a sense of unfairness and disenfranchisement among voters.
