winner-take-all vote

A quick definition of winner-take-all vote:

A winner-take-all vote is when the person who gets the most votes wins everything. This means that if you don't vote for the winner, your vote doesn't count. It's like a race where the first person to cross the finish line wins, and everyone else gets nothing. It's different from other types of voting where your vote can still count even if the person you voted for doesn't win.

A more thorough explanation:

A winner-take-all vote is an election in which the candidate who receives the majority or plurality of votes wins all the seats or representation. For example, in a winner-take-all system, if a candidate wins 51% of the votes, they win 100% of the representation. This system is used in some countries, including the United States, for presidential elections and some state elections.

For instance, in the United States, the winner-take-all system is used in the Electoral College, where the candidate who wins the majority of votes in a state wins all of that state's electoral votes. This means that even if a candidate wins by a small margin, they receive all of the state's electoral votes.
