9. I screwed up the OP, originally, but you got it.

And with the exception of my mistake, that is exactly how the Jeopardy "answer" was phrased.

4. How could she receive the most votes nationwide?

She was on the ballot only in California.

I think the OP was very strangely worded.

6. i guess it means of everyone nationwide, she still had the most

no matter which way you look at it.

8. It was meant to be a trick question, I guess.

Obviously there are only two offices that Americans vote on "nationwide".

10. It means who got the most votes, period

After all, no other position other than president/vice president runs a national campaign in this country.

But if you look at total number of votes, it makes sense that a senator in CA would win the third highest number of votes in an election with no popular third party candidates.
