In 1984, many incumbent Democratic judges lost their seats in large urban counties to unknown Republican challengers because of "straight ticket voting".

Option a

Explanation:

“Straight-ticket voting” is when voters give all their votes to representative of one political party which is just reverse of “Split-ticket voting” where voters vote for multiple parties in an election. Therefore it is viewed as alternative to straight-ticket voting.

In 1984 election following are the factors which resulted into loss for Democratic judges due to straight-ticket voting :

Only when the disparity between the straight party vote for the two parties widened was the effect of straight party vote on candidate success considerable.The variation between the two parties in direct party voting forces the candidate of the minority party to pursue independent voters aggressively.A particularly strong straight-for-party vote in favor of one party can make the difference with independent voters almost impossible for a judicial candidate to make up.The body of fully independent voters most open to judicial candidates campaign efforts is quite small.

panem is a communist totalitarian dictatorship where all the resources and how they are allocated belongs to the capitol. the districts exist only to provide goods and services for the capital and most of the citizens live in poverty. it is a police state where the "peacekeepers" use force and threats to keep the people under control. dissent is outlawed and those who disobey the law are executed, flogged, or turned into avoxes. the games are another means in which the ruling elite in the capitol exert their power over the districts. when reading the books i drew parallels between panem and the soviet union and north korea. in no way is panem capitalist. the people in the capitol are wealthy but the majority of them are involved in the government somehow. it was the same way in the former soviet union where bigwigs in the communist party and high ranking government officials were given access to goods, services, medical treatments not available to the general public. if you think panem has a capitalist economy you need to brush up on your economics.
