Election symbol is too much at America (5)
I believe the answer is:
lotus
'election symbol' is the definition.
'lotus' can be an answer for 'symbol' (I have seen 'Sacred symbol' mean 'lotus' so perhaps 'symbol' could also mean 'lotus'). I am not certain of the 'election' bit.
'too much at america' is the wordplay.
'too much' becomes 'lot' (I've seen this in other clues. I am not sure about the 'too' bit.).
'at' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'america' becomes 'us' (abbreviation for the United States).
'lot'+'us'='LOTUS'
'is' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lotus that I've seen before include "Aquatic plant" , "Car manufacturer - plant" , "Mythical plant inducing languor" , "Mythical fruit including stste of dreaminess" , "In myth, a plant whose fruit induced forgetfulness" .)
