Assignment for Nov 12th
Here is a list of the fifty states. Please find one other person in the class and analyze the election results in two states. Your presentation (five minutes maximum!) should include some graphics (you can use my laptop and a projector or the overhead projector). Include who won and in which part of the state he received the most votes. You might also mention why you think the particular candidate did better or worse in some areas of the state.
And here are the instructions as to how to do this: First, you have to have already created an account (which you can do at the top righthand corner of the page)
Now click on the "edit" tab at the top of the page. Enter your names (first and last) next to the pair of states you will be looking at (If you just enter the following symbol ~~~ , this will automatically enter your name with a link to your user page. Very clever!):
By the way, does anyone know how to set tabs and columns without creating a table (so we don't have to use ... in order to create spaces?)?
