Tuesday November 6th, the day of the national election, the students at Orange High School had their own mock election. Unlike our nation, only about one-third, or 440 students, of the population voted.The results of the school election were comparable to that of the nation with 47.5% of OHS students voting for incumbant Democratic President Barack Obama and 51% of the country voting for him.
Republican Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney received 44.5% of OHS students’ votes and 48% of America’s vote.
Surprisingly, Gary Johnson, the Libertarian candidate, received over 8% of the OHS student body votes and just 1% in the actual election.
