Post #25: Election Day

You may not realize it, but the first Tuesday in November is always election day in the United States. In 5-6 more years you will be eligible to vote in your first election.  Today I want you to answer a few questions about the election process... 1) Why do we hold elections? 2) What would America be like without a voting system? 3) Why is it important for people vote in elections?  4) The minimum voting age is 18 in the U.S.  Do you think there should be a minimum age to vote?



After you have completed your blog go to Typing Web and complete the lessons through "Beginner Review 1".

You will have a Pixlr assignment today.
