GOP runs table in H-M-S mock election

Maroon and Gold may be the official colors at Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn High School, but students there prefer red.

The student body on Nov. 2 held a mock election of state- and federal-level offices. Results are as follows: U.S. Senate, Charles Grassley (R), 81 percent, Michael Franken (D), 19 percent; U.S. House of Representatives Fourth District, Randy Feenstra (R), 74 percent, Ryan Milton (D), 26 percent; Iowa Governor, Kim Reynolds/Adam Gregg (R), 87 percent, Deidre DeJear/Eric Van Lanker (D), 13 percent; Iowa Attorney General, Tom Miller (D), 27 percent; Brenna Bird (R), 73 percent.

The H-M-S vote was a harbinger of things to come, as the winners of the student body's vote also won during the real election Nov. 8.
