Mock Election 2012

The kiddoes learned all about a President, their job, and the steps they must take to become a President. We learned all about the different "branches" and the various responsibilities. Then...we learned about the two candidates that are running for the job of a President. They were provided with background information on both candidates, (where they went to school, what kind of jobs they've had, and information about their family.) We lined up with our voter registration cards, and were given ballots, went to a safe and secure area, marked our choice, and then dropped them off in the ballot box. After all of the ballots were collected we did tally marks as each vote was read aloud. It is safe to say that the 2012 winner of the Vote Off for Mrs. Ramirez's Class is.....Mitt Romney. (Although, it sure was a very close race!)
