Mock Election Results

The Highland Mock Election was a big success. The results of the students at Highland mirrored the results of the Illinois primary. When I overheard some seventh grade girls talking about tax policy on their way to lunch, I knew the project made an impact.

Here are the the final results:
Democratic Primary Results

• 583 votes cast in the Democratic Primary
• 486 (83.6%) votes for Barack Obama

Green Party Primary Results

• 64 votes cast in the Green Party Primary
• 37 (57.8%) votes for Howie Hawkins

Republican Ballot

• 324 votes cast in the Republican Primary
• 157 (48.6%) votes for John McCain

Highland Mock Election

I'm really excited for the upcoming Highland Mock Election!
We're going to have a school-wide mock election on Tuesday to coincide with the Illinois primary on Tuesday. Today we had election judge training for the 24 students who will be serving as election judges. I can't wait to see who the Highland students elect as each party's candidates for the presidential election.
