Voting and Elections Part 1&2-Page 69-70

3/19/2020

 
Key Terms
gubernatorial- of the governor's office
municipal-city/town government
absentee-not present
referendum-an issue to be put to vote, such as money for schools or a change to existing laws.  Basically this is asking for the public's permission to do something.

With election season here, voting and elections have been all over our news feed and social media.  Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders are battling to see who will lead the Democrats against Donald Trump. Thousands of representatives and senators from the federal and state governments are running for re-election.  Also up for their rebids include judges, clerks, sheriffs, county level jobs, and even Dolton and Riverdale jobs.  Page 70 is a recap of what happened in 2018 and a bit outdated.  Pay more attention to what is going on now in 2020.  Below I have posted a couple of videos to help you with this.
