Question

5. Give an example of an election where a 3rd party candidate potentially changed the
outcome of the election.

Answer 1

Answer:

I would talk about Theodore Roosevelt! He was a third party candidate, however, he didn't win the first time but did gain a larger percent of the vote for a third party candidate (27%). Another great one you could talk about is Ross Perot who won 19% of the popular vote but was beaten by Nixon.
