Assignment:
Write four numbered well-written paragraphs - one on each of these four topics, with your thoughts:
1. What happened in the national Presidential election and why do you think that happened? Be sure to give the national popular vote (numbers and percentages) and electoral vote for each candidate.
2. What was the popular vote in the Presidential election in Texas? (numbers and percentages) Who received Texas' 38 electoral votes, and to what do you attribute this?
3. What was the (unofficial) voter turnout (number and percentage) in Harris County for this election, and how does that compare to the primary election turnout you studied for your political participation assignment? What do you think explains the huge difference? (The precinct-by-precinct canvass report won't be available yet, so don't worry about that part)
4. What was the result of the Harris County Commissioner, Precinct 3, race? Do you think your virtual client pursued a strategy similar to the one you outlined for him? Did it work?
