That’s funny. Today in my class we talked about the electoral college and I had my students color in the states that went blue and the ones that were red. They were amazed at how equally the colors were distributed. One student asked me if the map ever had all of the colors be for one nominee. I went on to tell him about the greatest President ever and how he only had one state go against him. He asked who>? and I said Ronald Reagan. :) ONe little girl said “Oh yeah!” and I said your mother has taught you well. :)
