NIC Students Back McCain, Faculty Obama
In a mock election involving individuals from 24 states, North Idaho College students gave U.S. Sen. John McCain a 1% win over U.S. Sen. Barack Obama. However, Obama won more states overall -- as well as the mock electoral college vote of the students from the various states. When the 63 faculty votes were factored in (for a total of 590 votes in the mock election), Obama won the overall vote by 13 ballots or 2.1%.
