The correct answer is A) Because all three candidates were Progressive, Progressive votes were split.
The election of 1912 was between Woodrow Wilson, Teddy Roosevelt, and William Howard Taft. All three of these individuals were progressives, even though Wilson technically in the Democratic party and Taft was part of the Republican party. This was a time period in which progressive ideas were extremely popular in all major political parties. Due to this fact, the progressive voters were torn on which candidate to pick. Ultimately, Wilson ends up winning the election of 1912.
Before the election of 1912, there were actually two major parties that fought the elections. There were also a few small parties in thiose elections that were quiet insignificant. before the 1912 elections, the Republican party split into two parts and one of the section named it the Progressive party. They both carried certain amount of votes. This splitting actually helped the Democrats. Although at that time the Democrats did not have any chance of winning the presidential elections, but the splitting of the Republican Party helped them to win the election of 1912.
