Winner-takes-all

Winner-takes-all is a voting or competition system where the candidate or option with the most votes or support receives all the benefits or representation, while the others receive nothing. For example, in some elections, if one candidate gets the most votes in a state, they automatically win that state's entire electoral support, regardless of how close the race was. This system emphasizes the strongest contender, often simplifying results but potentially overlooking broader support for other options. It’s commonly used in political elections and certain competitions to clearly identify a single winner.
