B. Because the majority of the people voted for Torres<br /><br />This is seen as a problem because, despite the fact that Ted Torres received the majority of the popular vote (51 percent), Rosa Marcus won the presidency due to receiving more electoral votes. This highlights a situation where the Electoral College system can result in a candidate winning the presidency without winning the popular vote.
