Harrison believes the mock election inspired students to be more involved with the presidential election.
“We have one every two years. It also reinforces the ideas of voting and encourages students, when they turn 18, to be active voters,” Harrison said.
Harrison also said that over 1,000 students voted.
“We ran out of stickers and each year we only get 1,000 stickers,”
Students are approaching the actual presidential election differently.
Though junior Cory Cordes doesn’t find the presidential election interesting, he said he follows it. He said he’s watched all of the debates.
Junior Jason Koenigsman said voting feels fantastic.
“It’s the best feeling. I’ve been waiting for this since I was two,” Koenigsman said.
