If Graded Were the American Electorate...

After over a year of campaigning by candidates, and an overall cost estimated at over six billion dollars, the American election season ends today. Millions of Americans either have already voted (through absentee ballots or early voting), or are casting their votes today for their favorite candidate. If Graded High School were the electorate, the next president of the United States would be the incumbent democrat President Barack Obama, who won with 71% of the votes. Check the election poll results below.
If you want to watch the real results of the election tonight on TV or internet, because we are now three hours ahead of the East Coast, the first state poll will not close until 21:00 our time, then after that, others close each hour across the US. It will be a late night!
