Mock Election ’76 The great American political system was again in action during 1976. The students of Andrew Lewis learned something about the workings of a Presidential election by participating in a mock election at school. Six seniors were chosen to represent the candidates for President and their running mates and were asked to write a speech which represented the ideas of the person they portrayed. The students listened to the candidates’ speeches and voted for the nominee of their choice. Jimmy Carter and Walter Mondale won the election by a narrow margin of 16 votes. 190
