nifty election web sites for teachers

Thanks Dave,for inviting to this fascinating site. I Hope I can be useful. I realize there are probably dozens, hundreds really, of election sites; these are the ones that I selected to recommend to teachers and I thought they might - at least some of them - be useful to others, as well. Feel free to copy and paste them into your word document for future use. By the way, what is equilvelent to walking off the high dive at the pool? Answer: The start of a new school year for an NIE coordinator (and most teachers, too, I'm sure). Guess I had better start doggy paddling because I can't swim.
