Election Day Chart
Name:________________
Directions: Track Election Day results using this chart. Before Election Day, fill in the first two columns—record the number of electoral votes at stake in each state and predict a winner. On Election Day, and in the days following as final results are reported, record the electoral and popular votes for each state. (Some of the data cells may remain blank.) Lastly, add up the total electoral votes and popular votes for each candidate. Who will be the next president of the United States? Were your predictions correct?
