Mock election results, that is. Classrooms around the country held election days of their own in recent weeks to engage students in the civic process.

Nearly a million children ages 6 to 12 participated in the "Every Kid Votes" election sponsored by Studies Weekly and Woogi World. Barack Obama won with 473,919 votes, compared with 333,092 for John McCain. The contest said it had children from all 50 states participating. Wonder how their votes would break down in an electoral college....

Here in Baltimore, Hampstead Hill Academy, a charter school that enrolls about 500 pre-K through eighth graders, reports that Obama won its mock election. He got 75 percent of the vote, while 25 percent voted for McCain.
