shouldn't the answer be D? As for statement 2, if 60% are male voters who voted for Jose, then 40% are female voters who voted for Jose.

---------------------

No!

60% are MV who voted for Jose.
Therefore, 40% are MV who voted for Edith.

Statement 2 does not mention anything about female voters, hence the correct option is A.
