Assignment 1 Number of popular votes: 300 Description: In the presidential elections for the United States of America, there are two types of votes: 1. Popular votes: are simply the sum of all votes from all citizens in every state in USA. 2. Electoral votes: Each state has a number of electoral votes; this number represents the voting membership of that state in Congress i.e. the number of representatives in its U.S. Congressional delegation (a number that is directly related to the state's population of qualified citizens as determined by the US Census) plus the number of senators. The winner of the elections is the candidate that wins most of the electoral votes. This system is called the Electoral College. You can find more explanation for the electoral college here: httns://tasks.illustrativemathematics.org/content-standards/tasks/1199 Write a cpp program that contains class "candidate". A candidate has a name, number of electoral votes and number of popular votes. In your program, write a function that reads an input file containing elections results using input file stream and output to the console the name of the winner, his electoral votes and his popular votes.
