Election

This is one of the many places you can check out the latest information. Almost every news channel on t.v will have up to date information on who wins each state. Keep in mind that I do not expect you to stay up and watch it all. You need to go to bed at your regular bedtime, but before you do make sure you have colored in as many states as you can. Most importantly make a prediction on the empty section at the bottom of the sheet with the map on it that I sent home with you today. The prediction must make sense with what states you have colored in so far. Remember to count up the electoral votes in each state. If it is blue those votes go to Obama, and if they are red they go to McCain. The candidate with the most electoral votes is ahead. What I want you to do is predict who will win based on the electoral college map that tells you what states normally vote Democratic or republican. For example, you will most likely already be in bed by the time Texas and California's results are in, but you know by the activity we did in class that TX is mostly likely going to be red, and California is going to be blue.
