We live behind the enemy lines of New England and are one of the states that came up as red for Trump in the supposed actual 2020 results leaked by team Trump. The state capitol is deep "blue no matter who" and they pull lots of dirty tricks (gerrymandering district lines to push their competition to deeper blue regions) to maintain a choke hold on the communities.
My son said it looks like a normal ballot, was double sided, but was NOT extra thick and NOT larger than a regular 8.5" x 11" paper. What strikes me as extra strange is, they provided the entire ballot all the way down to school board, Town Council and Bond approvals. Maybe they wanted them to get familiar with the whole process, or maybe not.
I'm hoping this was just a fun lesson in politics, but knowing how desperate these rats are, it wouldn't surprise me if the dems scan these in as real ballot images to support the steal on the Dominion and EE&S tabulators.
For those of you with kids, it might be a good idea to ask them if they are holding "mock" elections at their school.
My husband's a retired principal and teacher. Mock elections have been part of civics curriculum as long as I can remember.
My high school, in the sixties, had mock elections. Back when my state was conservative and not a liberal hell hole.
Thinking of this from where we are at, where we’ve clearly been infiltrated by evil people…
…What are the odds they were using this for intel gathering so they’d know where to prioritize their efforts?
Yep, this.
Should not be, though. Kids cannot vote, they are at most voting as their parents would, and likely . . . as they perceive they should vote. KIDS should not be put on the spot like this.
Let the adults vote and decide the election. Leave the kids out of it.
Respectfully, it promotes a sense of civic duty and gives high school kids a chance to learn about government. A mock election is the epitome of 'teachable moment' and is totally appropriate for high school students. What isn't appropriate is passing out authentic looking paper ballots. Most mock elections these days, if really trying to be used as a teaching tool will be done electronically via the school's computer labs whereby homeroom teachers will take their students to a designated location to 'cast' their vote. If noting else, it gives an excellent indicator of how the community at large will likely vote.
I disagree. It's a great hands-on way to teach kids about government and civics. Kids vote for class officers every year once they hit high school. Why not teach them the importance of voting while they're young?
