Elections present a vital time for political scientists to measure how the public’s interaction with government works. One of the accepted theories in the field is Duverger’s Law, which states that in elections involving candidates seeking a single available job, disparate groups tend to sort themselves into two distinct camps. If similarly minded voters do not form one “grand party,” they risk a strategy of divide and conquer, that leaves open the risk of the least-preferred candidate being elected.
