Title: Re: Mock elections at schools in your area Post by: TomC on October 31, 2008, 02:04:54 PM At my high school it was about 70% Obama.
Title: Re: Mock elections at schools in your area Post by: Associate Justice PiT on October 31, 2008, 03:52:55 PM My own school is having a mock election. It will end up being >90% Obama. Hopefully I'll get to vote for Barr (or write-in Baldwin).
Title: Re: Mock elections at schools in your area Post by: Robespierre's Jaw on October 31, 2008, 10:40:10 PM An Obama supporter or even a democrat is a black sheep in my school. Just curious Gporter, do people at your school consider Obama to be unpatriotic and stress his middle name when asking potential supporters of the Junior Senator from Illinois whether they are supporting him or not? Title: Re: Mock elections at schools in your area Post by: Fmr. Pres. Duke on November 01, 2008, 10:03:44 PM I don't know if Wake Forest is doing one, as I haven't checked my emails in a while, but if we did, it would be pretty close. I'd hate to go to a school that was 70-90% Obama.
Title: Re: Mock elections at schools in your area Post by: Hash on November 02, 2008, 05:29:26 PM Pretty sure Obama would win handily, though I know a kind of McCain supporter in my ToK class who's following the election very closely.
We didn't hold a mock election in 2008 or 2007 for the federal and provincial elections, sadly. Title: Re: Mock elections at schools in your area Post by: Associate Justice PiT on November 04, 2008, 03:16:19 AM After recent developments, my school's mock election will probably be fairly close. :)
Title: Re: Mock elections at schools in your area Post by: I spent the winter writing songs about getting better on November 04, 2008, 03:17:43 AM Outside of the black neighborhoods, McCain might do better than he does in the city, just due to kids wanting to rebel. Then again how many whites with kids live in Minneapolis?
Title: Re: Mock elections at schools in your area Post by: lolitsadam on November 04, 2008, 05:53:16 AM my old middle school, now an elementary, which my niece goes to, was surprisingly close.
Popular Votes Obama/Biden—424 McCain/Palin—398 Other—15 (Ralph Nader-7, Cynthia McKinney-4, Brian Moore-1, Bob Barr-2, Gloria La Riva-1) the only demographic McCain won was 2nd graders. Title: Re: Mock elections at schools in your area Post by: © tweed on November 04, 2008, 12:56:24 PM my school within Cornell held a mock election last week online, which Obama won 73-21%.
Title: Re: Mock elections at schools in your area Post by: elcorazon on November 04, 2008, 05:07:43 PM at my kids' middle school, they had 3 choices, Obama, McCain or Other. The totals were:
Obama 90% McCain 5% Other 5% pretty devastating. My daughter has a friend whose parents are Israeli. She's for McCain. Said she only knew one other kid at school for McCain. Title: Re: Mock elections at schools in your area Post by: Sensei on November 05, 2008, 09:23:41 PM I don't know if Wake Forest is doing one, as I haven't checked my emails in a while, but if we did, it would be pretty close. I'd hate to go to a school that was 70-90% Obama. Title: Re: Mock elections at schools in your area Post by: Хahar 🤔 on December 03, 2008, 07:19:46 PM Our results were something like 95% Obama, 2% McCain.
Title: Re: Mock elections at schools in your area Post by: Kaine for Senate '18 on December 03, 2008, 07:22:58 PM My high school was 67% Obama, 20% McCain, 13% Other (mostly Nader).
Title: Re: Mock elections at schools in your area Post by: Associate Justice PiT on December 05, 2008, 10:32:57 PM Mine was:
63% Obama 28% write-ins 9% McCain Title: Re: Mock elections at schools in your area Post by: Robespierre's Jaw on December 06, 2008, 08:41:50 PM An Obama supporter or even a democrat is a black sheep in my school. Just curious Gporter, do people at your school consider Obama to be unpatriotic and stress his middle name when asking potential supporters of the Junior Senator from Illinois whether they are supporting him or not? Not particularly. I mean, it was a very straight forward question. Also, why did it take a month for you to reply? Title: Re: Mock elections at schools in your area Post by: Meeker on December 06, 2008, 08:50:23 PM Mine was 76% Obama, 18% McCain, 7% Others
Title: Re: Mock elections at schools in your area Post by: Sensei on December 07, 2008, 07:36:02 PM my sister says that my high school voted >90% for Obama.
Title: Re: Mock elections at schools in your area Post by: DownWithTheLeft on December 08, 2008, 04:57:31 PM We do not hold a mock election. But, if we did, it would be about 60% of the vote for McCain. An Obama supporter or even a democrat is a black sheep in my school. Title: Re: Mock elections at schools in your area Post by: I spent the winter writing songs about getting better on December 08, 2008, 08:01:22 PM I'm not sure, but basically no white kids go to Minneapolis public schools so figure from there.

Title: Re: Mock elections at schools in your area Post by: Kaine for Senate '18 on December 09, 2008, 08:40:21 PM as obsessive as you are as you are about freshman varsity basketball players Much more, seeing as how I'm not obsessed about that.

Title: Re: Mock elections at schools in your area Post by: Kaine for Senate '18 on December 09, 2008, 08:43:50 PM really? not like you stalk basketball players do you? I'm far too lazy to stalk people; if you knew me, you'd know that. Title: Re: Mock elections at schools in your area Post by: Tyrion The Unbanned on December 09, 2008, 08:46:06 PM I think we have already settled the fact that i DO know you
but, we can agree on something: the virginia county system is messed up, what's with arlington, are we or are we not a county?

by definition, it's just a region, which messes me up beyond anything, let me tell you Title: Re: Mock elections at schools in your area Post by: Kaine for Senate '18 on December 09, 2008, 08:53:22 PM not really by definition, it's just a region, which messes me up beyond anything, let me tell you And yet your avatar claims Alberta. Why the switch? Title: Re: Mock elections at schools in your area Post by: Хahar 🤔 on December 09, 2008, 08:53:49 PM Not a region. An independent city, which is county-equivalent.
I hate independent cities, though. Title: Re: Mock elections at schools in your area Post by: Tyrion The Unbanned on December 09, 2008, 08:57:54 PM alberta is better than virginia

I remember the mock election I participated in High School. It was the 2003 provincial election, with quite hilarious results. The Tories wouldn't have won a single seat. Title: Re: Mock elections at schools in your area Post by: Tyrion The Unbanned on December 31, 2008, 02:52:49 PM my school's mock election was more conservative than the state average
Title: Re: Mock elections at schools in your area Post by: Husker on January 01, 2009, 06:46:12 PM All of the schools in Lincoln (public and private) held mock elections about 2 weeks before the election. Overall, Obama won 63-33. There are 56 schools in Lincoln and I believe McCain only won at 1 public elementary school in the more suburban part of the city and won both private schools. The public high schools were an average of 72-25 Obama if memory serves me right.
Actual results from the UNL dorm were 60-38 Obama, which is probably more republican than most large state schools. Several neighborhoods in Lincoln that have a decent population of college students were over 70% for Obama though. Title: Re: Mock elections at schools in your area Post by: Matt Damon™ on January 01, 2009, 07:57:59 PM My campus voted mostly Obama but there was a small enclave of McCain supporters in my residence hal
Title: Re: Mock elections at schools in your area Post by: aaaa2222 on January 02, 2009, 02:27:26 PM McCain won ours, 52-40. Barr got 5% and Nader got 4%, while Baldwin got only a single vote.
Last year, several friends of mine organized a write in campaign, Ron Paul for Student Council president. He got 24 votes, roughly 3% of the total. Title: Re: Mock elections at schools in your area Post by: tmthforu94 on January 07, 2009, 05:16:58 PM McCain won my schools vote. The final tally was something like 282-81. Barr, Nader, Hillary, and Chuck Norris all received 1 vote.
Title: Re: Mock elections at schools in your area Post by: Bleeding heart conservative, HTMLdon on January 07, 2009, 05:44:20 PM Best mock election ever:
Christ Methodist Day School, 1992 (approximate from my memory) Bush 360 Perot 19 Clinton 7 Title: Re: Mock elections at schools in your area Post by: You kip if you want to... on March 31, 2009, 02:39:28 PM Best mock election ever: Christ Methodist Day School, 1992 (approximate from my memory) Bush 360 Perot 19 Clinton 7 Lol. That's pretty funny. Title: Re: Mock elections at schools in your area Post by: yougo1000 on February 21, 2010, 10:19:43 PM My school voted for Obama by 32 votes

Title: Re: Mock elections at schools in your area Post by: Deldem on February 23, 2010, 05:03:27 PM It was 55-45 McCain at my school. Way more than I expected for Obama, considering the school is in upper-middle-class suburbia.
Title: Re: Mock elections at schools in your area Post by: ej2mm15 on March 11, 2010, 07:21:20 AM my school
Obama 91% McCain 6% Clinton 3% Title: Re: Mock elections at schools in your area Post by: feeblepizza on October 07, 2010, 08:05:00 PM 2008:
Obama 359 McCain 188 Title: Re: Mock elections at schools in your area Post by: Vepres on October 07, 2010, 09:04:37 PM We had a mock election in one class (though not school-wide) and it was 2 to 1 for Obama. That sounds about right to me.
Title: Re: Mock elections at schools in your area Post by: tpfkaw on October 08, 2010, 06:40:09 PM In '04 I think my class split like 40% Kerry 35% Bush 25% Nader. A bunch of people decided to vote Nader as a in order to screw up the results. Then they made us do it again without Nader. I think it went something like 55% Kerry 45% Bush.
Title: Re: Mock elections at schools in your area Post by: hawkeye59 on October 09, 2010, 03:25:00 PM At my school it was
Obama 340 McCain 43 Nader 9 Title: Re: Mock elections at schools in your area Post by: Psychic Octopus on October 23, 2010, 06:59:55 PM I was on the Executive Board of my middle school, and I can't remember the results for certain, but if I recall correctly it was 486 votes for Obama, 167 for McCain, 6 for Nader, 2 for Barr, and 1 for McKinney. :)
Elementary school (2004) was a different story, and Bush won narrowly, although I can't seem to remember the vote totals. I just remember casting my ballot for Bush.
