Trump: I want those votes thrown out! Those kids can't even vote and are just probably voting the way their parents are going to. Those votes don't even count because of they walk outside they are getting shot I hear. People tell me that I'm great with kids but I say you can't find someone better with kids than me

I'm surprised that school children knew about Gary Johnson and Jill Stein, to be honest.

There is always that one hippy mother who hates the the inorganic cafeteria food, required vacinations, and team sports.

''These children were manipulated by their crooked democratic parents and the media, this is a rigged election, remember.''
''It is a shame that we're doing this to our youngsters I tell you, many of these were prepped to be democrats without even knowing my tremendous plan.''
''Many of these little girls could have had brilliant future by marrying me in a near future!''

Doesn't surprise me at all. Kids actually are listening when their parents talk politics at home. I was only in grade school at the time yet I and a lot of other schoolmates knew all about Kosovo and the Lewisky Scandal when they were hot topics. This idea that kids tune out anything that isn't cartoons and video games is just untrue.
That means kids picked Nixon three times

Children are more honest than their parents. Hillary is going to take this by a landslide.
Not enough repetition. Work on that for the next version.
Understandable, depending on how they experienced the Nixon vs JFK debate.
We are not worthy of a Trump meltdown aimed at children.
How old are the kids that vote? That could be the reason why there was a higher percentage for Stein/Johnson, as many of them would not know who they actually are and just voted randomly because they sound good or something.
Also, children's political leanings are 90% always in line with their parents. Even ask a sophomore in high school about politics and you'll see them parrot what their parents think.

This is interesting because Nebraska could go blue if they actually had the largest urban school district do this. We didn't participate so the hillbillies out west got all the votes. We're doing our own school-wide vote next week so I'm excited to see what happens. That being said, it's also been very depressing seeing kids cry because they think Trump will deport them and their family. I just tell them they really don't have much to worry about.
USA TODAY: VOTER FRAUD RAMPANT
According to USA Today, more than 150,000 fraudulent votes have already been cast for the Presidency in a voting scheme that has been going on since at least 1940.
These votes, cast by individuals who cannot legally vote, were heavily in Hillary Clinton's favor. If these votes were allowed to stand on their own, Hillary Clinton would take the election with an astonishing 436 electoral votes to Trump's 99. Additionally, Clinton would carry nearly every battleground state.
There is currently no word on whether legal action will be taken.

Sounds like the kids have more sense than a lot of the adults.

It distresses me to know that 35% of these child voters have infected by Trumpian garbage from their parents. Hopefully they learn better when they get older.

I remember rooting for Clinton over Dole and some of my peers mocking me (I was in a Evangelical Christian school). My response was simply that I went for the guy who didn't look ancient. And Clinton seemed cool in all of his tv appearances.

Many of them probably thought they were voting for a dog.

I remember getting to be able to do one of these votes when I was in elementary school. Also, I'm very proud of our Texas children, if not our Texas adults.

In the 1996 kid election I voted for Bob Dole because I liked pineapple and thought he might have something to do with it.

That the youth of North/South Carolina and Arizona are voting democrat should scare the shit out of Republicans...

South Carolina flipped to republicans this mock election, so at least Republicans can use Trump as a blueprint to win future South Carolina voters.

Aaahaha Texas went blue.
Can we just cancel the grown-up election and go with this one? Clearly kids are the demographic that actually have their heads screwed on right.

Look at this propaganda piece of shit here.
"llama llama time to share" More like Llama Llama time for communism
"I'm not ready" For a KKKLINTON PRESIDENCY
"Get Happy" OR ELSE is the clear subtext here.
WAKE UP SHEEPLE
My daughter loves Llama Llama books. I'm going to have to report her as a communist. Can't have any commies in my house.
I still remember when Bush won by a landslide when Nickelodeon did a Bush v. Gore mock election. Kids have come a long way.
I couldn't find the clip, but I did see that Nick is doing it again this year. Yes, they tried to make Trump look decent.

We had mock a mock election through Channel One when I was a kid. It was decently accurate to the actual election map in 2004.
The article doesn't mention it, but Hillary won SC this time, too. Iowa is apparently the magical state of the GOP future.

Kids even know about the electoral college, something most adults are clueless about. These days school kids get the full civics lesson every election year.
