The 2012 Presidential election is over, at least in 6th grade. We decided that we didn't want to wait to vote for president, so we held our own election over the course of the last week. As 6th graders, we can and should be involved in what is going on in our country, especially in a year with a presidential election. As we know, the presidential race is between Barack Obama, the current President and Mitt Romney, the challenger and former governor of Massachusetts. Obama is a democrat and Romney is a republican. The campaign has been a very long, tough, grueling process for both candidates and it will only pay off for one man Tuesday night. I encourage each and everyone of you to flip on the television Tuesday night and watch the coverage. Watch as the results start to come in. You will be surprised at how exciting it is. The magic number is 270, as in which ever candidate gets to 270 electoral votes wins the presidency. Going into election day, Obama has a very slight lead in the polls. But anything can happen on election day.
So, without further delay, here are the results in my 6th grade classes....
Unless you've been living under a rock the past 6 months, you know that it is Election year, which means on November 6th, the citizens of the United States will elect a president. There are two outcomes of November 6th: Barack Obama will be reelected as President of the United States and serve his second term, or former Governor Mitt Romney will be elected president of the United States. You are in 6th grade, which means you can not vote on November 6th. However, that doesn't mean you can't get involved! In my class, we aren't going to wait for November 6th to find out who wins the Presidency. We are going to find out this week. Before you cast your vote, you must figure out who you want as president. Don't just pick who your parents want! Think for yourself! I have provided a link to help you see where Obama and Romney stand on the issue...
