Answer 1

presidential_candidates = ('Joe Biden', 'Donald Trump', 'Eric Adams', 'Sherrod Campbell Brown', 'Steve Bullock')
votes_summary = []
num = 1
for candidate in presidential_candidates:
    print(num, candidate)
    num += 1
    votes_summary.append(0)
votes = []
for num in range(20):
    vote = int(input(str(num+1)+'> '))
    votes.append(vote)
    votes_summary[vote - 1] += 1
result = []
for i in range(3):
    num = 0
    num_max = 0
    max = 0
    for votes in votes_summary:
        if num in result:
            num += 1
        else:
            if votes > max:
                max = votes
                num_max = num
            num += 1
    result.append(num_max)
print(result)
min = votes_summary[0]
num_min = 0
num = 0
for votes in votes_summary:
    if votes < min:
        min = votes
        num_min = num
    num += 1
print('Winners:')
res = iter(result)
for i in range(1, 4):
    num = next(res)
    print(i, presidential_candidates[num], votes_summary[num])
print('Loser:')
print(presidential_candidates[num_min], votes_summary[num_min])
