A highly qualified person is running for a seat on the House of Representatives. The candidate beats her opponents in the election but does not get 50 percent or more of the votes. In a single-member plurality system, what does this mean? The candidate wins because only a plurality of votes is needed. The candidate does not win. The candidate wins a percentage of the representation based on the percentage of the candidate's votes. The candidate has not won yet and still needs to win the electoral college vote
