One verb covers picking a biscuit and electing a president, and the political sense gives for an election and for a voter. The prepositions follow the sense: when you weigh two options against each other, when you pick one out of a set. is choosing from among the books. The root has nothing to do with , electricity, despite the resemblance, and confusing them produces committees that electrify their leaders.
