For the next few weeks I will be focusing on the up coming US Presidential Election. Our first topic will be voting. Here are the basic requirements for voting in the US:
-You must be a US Citizen
-You must be 18 years of age
-You must register and meet the requirements of your state
Each State is allowed to set their own rules for how to register to vote, how far in advance you need to vote, and what type of id you need to show as proof when you show up to vote.
Watch this funny video of Homer Simpson trying to vote in the 2008 Presidential election to get an idea of what it's like to vote in the US. Of course, it's a cartoon so it's meant to be funny and not an exact, true show of what happens when you vote. Which parts do you think are true and which parts do you think are false and added to be funny?
