Question: Why is the amount of resources that a candidate has more important in nonpresidential elections than in presidential elections? Group of answer choices Voters hear little about nonpresidential elections in the media and thus are more dependent on campaigns to inform them. Voters use party identification to make their choice for president but rely more on candidate's positions on the issues in votes for House and Senate. Direct voter contact matters more in presidential elections than in elections lower on the ballot. Voters are more familiar with candidates for local and state office than they are with presidential candidates.
