"The students at Harpeth High School have spoken: If the 2016 election were in their hands, Republican nominee Donald Trump would be next president of the United States.

Students in Jamie Morse’s government class conducted a mock presidential election on Friday, Nov. 4.

Trump won with 340 votes, and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton received 111 votes.

Students in Morse’s class created ballot boxes and paper ballots and then visited each classroom so students could vote. After all the ballots were cast, the students tallied the results.

Morse has conducted a mock election in every presidential race during her 30-plus years as an educator.

“This is a good experience for the students so they can see how the election process works,” she said."

"If Grove students ran the country, come Friday, Jan. 20, 2017, Donald Trump and Mike Pence would be sworn in as the 45th President and Vice President of the United States.

By a three to one margin, the Republican team of Trump and Pence captured the first through sixth grade votes ahead of their Democratic counterparts Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine.

Trump/Pence landed 735 votes to Clinton/Kaine's 210 votes. At the lower elementary school, third party candidates Jill Stein, Darrell Castle and Gary Johnson captured 43 votes. At the upper elementary, 77 students cast a "none of the above" vote.

A total of 509 first, second and third grade students and 556 fourth, fifth and sixth grade students casts votes in Tuesday's mock election.

For the lower elementary, the vote took place as part of the national Every Kid Votes program through Studies Weekly. Upper elementary students voted using a Survey Monkey survey created by administrators."

If Morse wants to have a real mock election then they should assign students as "minorities" and force them to stand in line for 4 hours to vote.

Trump does very well with that demographic. He will win the white vote for sure.

He is the one dentist out of five who recommends chewing gum with sugar in it.
