 They began by filling out voter registration cards.The candidates
were Butterfinger candy bars and Cherry Laffy Taffy.
Students wrote a list of reasons why their favorite candy should
win, and the lists were used as campaign speeches. An audience of
parents and classmates listened to the speeches on Tuesday.
Votes were cast in a simulated voting booth set up in the
classroom. Later in the day, a tally of votes announced the winner
to be Cherry Laffy Taffy.
