In a political system with only two major parties, the entrance of a third-party candidate into an election race damages the chances of only one of the two major candidates. The third-party candidate always attracts some of the voters who might otherwise have voted for one of the two major candidates, but not voters who support the other candidate. Since a third-party candidacy affects the two major candidates unequally, for reasons neither of them has any control over, the practice is unfair and should not be allowed.
If the factual information in the passage above is true, which of the following can be most reliably inferred from it?

A If the political platform of the third party is a compromise position between that of the two major parties, the third party will draw its voters equally from the two major parties.
B If, before the emergence of a third party, voters were divided equally between the two major parties, neither of the major parties is likely to capture much more than one-half of the vote.
C A third-party candidate will not capture the votes of new voters who have never voted for candidates of either of the two major parties.
D The political stance of a third party will be more radical than that of either of the two major parties.
E The founders of a third party are likely to be a coalition consisting of former leaders of the two major parties.

Why is C incorrect?

IMO B
argument talks about all voters and not specifically new voters.
b) if initially A,B have one half of the vote each,
party C will take some of votes of a party(say B) thus decreasing B's votes
and also party A won't gain any vote. thus A won't capture much more than one half of the vote

Hi,
C is wrong because there is no info. in the stimulus about new voters. So, we can't say for certain that third party will not capture new voters.
I think the answer is B
Cheers!

IMO C
Question is "If the factual information in the passage above is true" that means we can find information from the argument.

A) If the political platform of the third party is a compromise position between that of the two major parties, the third party will draw its voters equally from the two major parties. (argument says : some of the voters who might otherwise have voted for one of the two major candidates)
B) If, before the emergence of a third party, voters were divided equally between the two major parties, neither of the major parties is likely to capture much more than one-half of the vote. ("two major candidates" does not mean equal in number)
C) A third-party candidate will not capture the votes of new voters who have never voted for candidates of either of the two major parties. (this statement uses double negatives ,which might have confused most of you guys.If we take out double negatives and the term "NEW" the statement says : A third-party candidate capture the votes of voters who have voted for candidates of either of the two major parties ----> consistent with what is given in the argument "but not voters who support the other candidate" )
D) The political stance of a third party will be more radical than that of either of the two major parties. (political stances have not been discussed)
E) The founders of a third party are likely to be a coalition consisting of former leaders of the two major parties. (no coalition structure has been discussed)
