Election 2012 - 270towin.com

Presidential election season is upon us, and it is sure to be a historic election.  Especially when it comes to campaign finance!  More on that later.  The next series of posts will be dedicated to 2012 election resources.  I kick it of with www.270towin.com.

There are several features about this tool that my students really enjoy.  Take a look for yourself!

1. Electoral college maps going all the way back to 1789
2. Up-to-date 2012 General Election polls for every state
3. Election Simulations
4. An in-depth blog with bi-partisan resources

The Technology: The electoral maps on the site are Flash based, but IOS devise users do not fret!  There is a 270ToWin app that has access to all of the sites features.  It has beautiful interactive maps and excellent reviews!  Be sure to check it out!
