=== In this project, students will assume the role of a voter and campaigner who is exploring the question. How does my vote matter? They will learn about the voting process and difference between electoral and media votes. Next, students will be placed on a production team where they will use their voting power to elect a candidate for their video. Students will use a rubric to help them make an informed decision about the best candidate for their video. Then, production teams will create a campaign video, flyers, and posters to encourage voters to elect their candidate to be the Hutchens' Got Talent winner. Two types of voting will take place. Students can vote for their favorite candidate video by visiting their wiki page. A counter on the wiki page will keep up with the number of views to the page. The video with the most views will be the online winner for Hutchens' Got Talent. Students will then conduct a second voting scenario where students will cast their electoral votes through ballots. This will be our ballot winner for Hutchens' Got Talent. Students will compare and discuss each voting process and will conclude which is the best voting type for presidential voting. ===
